Forces of Valor’s 1:32 scale German Sd. Kfz. 161/1 PzKpfw IV Ausf. F1 Medium Tank – “Red 402”, 4.Kompanie, Panzer Regiment 5, 21.Panzer Division, Deutsches Afrika Korps, Libya, 1942

Looks as if Forces of Valor is already setting its sights on 2027 to help reinvigorate their 1:32 scale classic military vehicle series. According to our point person, the Company plans on coming out with a Panzer IV Ausf. F1 medium tank painted in the desert sand colors of the Deutsches Afrika Korps. Even though they’ve been around for over two decades, I believe this is their first ever “Africanized” vehicle, sporting the insignia of the 15.Panzer Division. We’ve listed the vehicle on our site and expect additional items to be announced soon that will likely roll out in mid 2027. More pix are on the way, which will be posted to our site the moment they hit the presses.

In other news, the four 1:32 scale re-treads that were expected in July were pushed back a month and are now expected this August. I know its a bit of a disappointment to some that had hoped to add these vehicles to their collection in the early part of the summer instead of the latter half.
