Does anyone know of a U.S. source for Warrior IFV's? Old glory UK has them but I can't find a U.S. source. Thanks. |

Old Glory link You would think it would be with British vehicles but nooo it's in modern vehicles $28 USD for three |

Is this same model as the Skytrex one? Seems a lot cheaper… |

What do you think? |

They're not the same model. The Skytrex one is the basic, unmodified 1980s-vintage Warrior, while the Old Glory one is much more recent (Iraq War vintage), with additional armour, ECM antennae and bolt-on slat armour. The Old Glory one also seems to be modelled by someone else and doesn't look as good – note the difference in the tracks. I've long given up trying to understand the relationship between Old Glory and Skytrex. They've got exactly the same Challenger, FV-432 and Saxon models on both the Skytrex and Old Glory websites, but only Skytrex have the original Warrior model (for reasons only known to themselves) and only Old Glory have the late-model Warrior and the FV-432 Bulldog. Yes, OG are selling the same models for considerably less than Skytrex – Skytrex's prices recently went through the roof while simultaneously converting a lot of their models to 'cheaper' resin. |

QRF, via Scale Creep. He has them both with and without Chobham packs.

Holy crap, how many different companies/websites have some variation of the name Old Glory? I looked on old glory and old glory 15s- I didn't know there was an old glory 25's site (that of course sells 15mm stuff). Somehow I just missed it on the scalecreep site. Thanks for the quick responses. |

We did look at changing ours to Old QRF, or QRF Glory, but then we got ourselves terribly confused. |

OldSkyGlory in a QRF White Wine Sauce? Bit of a long name. Eric

Well that is, of course, our real full name, but we just shorten it to 'QRF' for convenience. |
