Thought I would let all of you know about an opportunity to pick of some of these models at a great price. I found last week at my local Walmart, six of these models at $14.00 each . They are being sold under Walmarts MOTORWORKS brand and are obviously a special buy from F of V. I bought the M4A3 Sherman,the M16 Quad .50 Half-Track, and the Sturmgeschutz III. Also available is the U.K. Tornado, U.K. Mark II Tank, and the Humvee with TOW. The quality of these die-cast models is almost museum quality and the price is a steal. ;D ;D ;D

Apparently they don't carry these on their website. What is "F of V"? If they are anything like the new Tamiya Master Builder series of ready-built models then $14 is a steal. What scale are these? I've seen some nice looking diecast models in the Airplane Shop catalog. |

Keith, F of V means Force of Valor as in the subject line of my message. I looked at their offerings off of the pop-up on Panzerblitz about a week ago. These models are metal die-cast with working tracks, suspensions, hatches, doors, and one crewman. They wanted $24.00 plus shipping for the very same items!!  |

I block popups so I never saw that one.  |
