I think it was 1/48 and plastic. I had the 1/48 diecast Apache and the size was about the same as the Blackhawk I saw at Target. It was in the same size box as the Stryker and the P-51 with it's wings off. 1/32 Blackhawk would be over 1.5ft long, correct?

You might be correct. IF it was diecast AND it had ANY paint and ANY weathering, the level of detail would be acceptable. 21st Century's move to plastic was tolerable because the detail was so crisp, like the hex bolts on the Panzer III. The bolts on the Stryker are 3 layered round nubs, worse than ...

The 1/32 version looks like the other 1/18 versions. Everything is molded shut with rounded corners. It will be an impressive piece in 1/18, but leaves much to be desired in it's current 1/32 form. I don't think it helps that my mouse weighs more than my Stryker. The back door better open on the 1/1...

And this Bravo Team 1/32 Stryker leads me to believe they will be producing a 1/18th scale since the 1/32 Abrams and Bradleys are identical to their 1/18 brothers. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e275/pcsguy88/img1231124501790.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e275/pcsguy88/img1231124502242.jpg

I think you guys are getting your hopes up a bit too much. These are Bravo Team packaging and the M1A! and Bradley look identical to their 1/18th brothers. The Stryker is a piece of garbage in comparison to the Unimax diecast 1/32nd line. The molding is worse than the diecast, not like Dragon or 21s...

Guess this find deserves it's own post

I took the following pictures at a Target in KC on the 20th and forgot to post them. Very interesting that 21st Century has changed their packaging to 4 Star Military and released what appears to be new repaints? I've never seen that PIII scheme, but I've been in the 1/18th section for many months. ...

Those look like Heng Long Tiger I treads and they are 100% functional. They hold up to tremendous abuse on the 1/16th R/C tanks.

This model is incredible and deserves some kind of award. $450 worth of supplies makes him one dedicated model maker.

Can I just get a real military scheme on either of these birds without dropping $200+ on Ebay? It would make me a sad puppy to buy a T-bird and then have to sand all that beautiful paint off. Anyone here trade me a gray one for the T-bird or Aggressor when they are released?

Thanks for the reply. I've been googling and searching this board since posting and still am unable to find one. I guess the I was thinking it was part of the Thunderbird/Aggressor releases that we will never see. too bad, I thought it was proof of the rerelease.
