Does this reissue have those or did they mistakingly show another product? 2-Will the Zero hit TRU? How about the Old crow P-51 and other ...

TKo its been a while. 1-Does 21st have any interest producing 1:18 versions of smaller, yet historically significant aircraft such as the A-4 Skyhawk, F-8 Crusader? I'm sure Roy realizes how important these 2 were and how they were smaller than the F-104 and arguably more popular/significant(wait is...

I think its either the F-14 or F-100. With the success of 21st's F-104, and demand for vietnam birds that we tend to beg about, admiral toys knows we wants vietnam era stuff. And it doesn't seem that 21st or BBI would make an F-100. Not to mention what a GREAT follow up to the F-86!! F-14. This is s...

Mike, Since the apache, falcon and hornet are slated for repaints this year, Will TRU carry all 3? I imagine they should, it'd be GREAT to see them in brick and mortar stores, since nearly all of 21st products can be found at walmart(well pretty hard to find), and TRU and walmart are big rivals, and...

The sandies are awesome. I would definitely get 1!!!!!

BTW since it performed in a predominantly jet war as a CAS aircraft in vietnam, was it originally intended as a prop fighter or was it always a CAS plane?

Also, any word on the next 1/18 jets BBI is producing? I just got the jolly rogers black F/A-18 and I LOVE IT! Makes ...

Wow man! Seems awesome, especially for the price. I guess the rotors were the only thing really worrying me. I take it the canopy can still open on a hinge from the side right? And is that a custom green camo one or is that an actual release? The only one I saw in stores was the grey one. And the pi...

I have seen the cobra at least twice and noone seemed to look at it, luckily for me. SO hopefully its still back home in va beach in the local walmarts. If not...

Also, tman thanks for posting pics of the falcon can you post more! Thats pretty cool man and thanks for the comparison!

I think maybe its perhaps that the super hornet is a compromise fighter. The F/A-18C was a GREAT replacement for the A-7 and F-4 in the strike role, and did its job well for its size class. The super hornet had to replace both the A-6 Intruder and the F-14 Tomcat, and just had a little bit of both w...

I assume we will see it in febuary but just think spring for now just in case. tko, will the retooled S1-5 mustangs still be in the 40$ price range?

Hey understandable man! I grew up a navy brat and was based on an airbase where the runway was literally off of my frontyard, so I LOVE planes, and I got exposed to the F-14 at a very early age. The first thing I tried drawing at the age of 2 was an F-14. And after drawing all my life, and becoming ...

Tko, We know the majority of 21st products for airplanes consist of mainly prop warbirds, with few jets(F-104 and the upcoming sabre and MIG-15). Will the number of warbirds planned for next year still outnumber jets? Or will there be more jets to balance out the number of props? More jets is a GOOD...
