Well if 21st Century HAD made a 1/32 B-17, kept the price down, kept quality-control up, and distributed it effectively they still would have done something brain-dead stupid to screw it up. Perhaps they would have marketed S1 as an orange Post-WWII forest fire-fighting plane, and then S2 as the mul...

Speaking of Monkey Depot's shipping, I found it interesting that adding a $39 ME 262 nightfighter to an existing order increased shipping $14 while replacing it with a $24 MIG added $21. I don't think the sizes are that different, but they seem to be "fudging" up the shipping costs on lower priced i...

I've yet to find a Hobbytown that I'm impressed with. Our first HT was obsessed with only two things, RC cars and Warhammer stuff (yes, Warhammer!). They carried some 1/32 FOV stuff (made poor choices as to what to order) that was much higher than online. It didn't surprise me when they went belly-u...

Yes, FOV's inconsistant quality (or lately consistant poor quality) will eventually put them in the same sinking boat as 21st Century. I have an early FOV enthusiast StuG III that is a work of art, as is my early Tiger II and PZ IV. And everytime I look at the Pershing I think,"Now that's NICE!" But...

Target was selling them (Lost Squadron) thru Amazon for $79 with free shipping before Christmas (when I bought one). Now I see the shipping is no longer free. BatCat also has them for $79. I really wanted a Bunker Hill but they are impossible to find for under $100. Atlantics are almost as bad, usua...

Capitalism is like a nuclear power plant; too much control and you get nothing but fizzle, but not enough safeguards and it becomes toxic. Once these jokers in Washington forced the banks to relax their lending rules in the late 90's they effectively exposed the nuclear control rods and let it run o...

Overall, when it comes to the planes, I agree. While I dearly love my 21st Stuka, FW 190, Spitfire, and P-38 (I own 5 others too), my 4 BBI planes (Hellcat, Corsair, Mustang, and Zero) are even better. But let's also remember that without 21st there almost certainly never would have been a quality B...

Corsair Help
Just got a Daisy June and she puts my old 21st Century Corsair to shame. I must admit I've folded the wings so I haven't tried to get them to fit tight, but the tail wheel is just a hard push to get it to lock. I was afraid of breaking something but after I carefully looked at the inside design, I g...

STUG III
Well color me appalled. The earlier versions of the STUG III, of which I own an Italy tan one (Enthusiast), are among my favorite. Even the early Action Grade ones looked "decent" but today I was in a TRU and saw an Action Grade STUG III that looked as plastic and cheap as the worst 21st Century has...

I tried to tell ya Aferg, strange bunch at toysnswords. But the price was great and the extra wait (about 2 weeks for me too) was worth it.

Marder III
If it actually looks half as good as the pictures I'll be first in line to get one. I must admit I'm surprised that they didn't do a Hetzer first, since the enclosed top of a Hetzer would require much less detail. Good job 21st! (now let's see if TRS or WM actually STOCK them).
