Hello,

Does anyone know what scale all of these are? Are they available in store OR only through the catalogue?

Well...

If you look at the details... it gives the measurements. the Sherman is 18" long, 14" wide, Tamiya's is 14" wide, 7.2" wide, but I'm guessing thats the BOX, not the tank.

According to the [link=http://www.forcesofvalor.com/series.aspx?series_id=2]Forces of Valor site[/link], all the R/C units are 1/24. It lists the same 8 tracked armor vehicles on the Sears.ca site (search Forces of Valor at www.Sears.ca)

I couldn't find a listing for the Brit 57mm AT gun or the German PAK 40 75mm AT gun, but I'm betting they are 1/24 like the tanks.

Yep, did a Google, found one on Kijiji in Toronto, both AT guns are 1/24.

Sorry guys.

Grrrr! Why can't VSTank get their act together and come out with some at guns, targets (and some new tanks)etc? It's really too bad that they are not IR compatible either for that matter. Oh well, enjoy them Shelonco, you're indoor battle field awaits!

the FOV abrams is nicely detailed but it's very slow and the turret is extremely slow to rotate as well. I don't have a vs abrams to compare it to though, so take my observations for what you will. Also, it sounds nothing like a turbine engine, it basically sounds like my FOV sherman. Maybe I just got a lemon, I don't know..

Thanks for the heads up on that.

Considering the 1/24 scale, these would be good to use to cannibalize and scratchbuild some of the smaller 1/16 scale tanks........Locust, Tetrarch, Universal Carrier, Marmon Harrington T16, etc...........

HL has worked well for me in the past, but their smallest tank has gear boxes that are too wide to work on some things I would like to do.
