I like it and would buy it but it sucks that 21st also made this same model so we get almost twice as many repaints. In the case of the Me-262, I actually love setting up my Yellow 7 with my White 8 and White 7 on my lawn. In the case of the F-86, 21c may have made something like the German CL-13 *...

You have been spoiled by mass liquidation at the mass retailers and the liquidation of companies liquidating the last of their efforts. I have a lot to do right now so I will get back on my soap box another day. Regards, Jason Hey, I don't mind the soap box talk. I think it is relevant and interest...

Will this delay the CL-13 Hartmann (or has it been released already)? If I had to choose between the Temptation and the Hartmann, I'd prefer the Hartmann. I've been wanting that particular plane for some time. I do like the concept shown, and would probably buy both. The German Luftwaffe CL-13 that ...

Repairing 21c Messerschmitt Pilots

Hello, I've opened 4 21c Messerschmitt Pilots, 3 of which have had serious issues with "frozen" articulation. 2 of my pilots broke at the waist. I was wondering if anybody has a clever way to repair them while still keeping the waist as a free point of articulation. I was thinking I might be able to...

Right. Some of my BBI planes are in slightly longer boxes ... the width always seems to tease me into thinking I can double them up into a storage box.

I too like the Admiral Toys 262s. At first I wasn't hot on White 8, but after having had it sit on display alone and later with White 7 (Admiral) and Yellow 8 (21c), I've really come to like its paint scheme. As others have said, the Admiral 262s are so easy to put together and repack them when you'...

This paint scheme has nothing to do with availablity of the product. The critique was for the blandness of that particular one. Perhaps that plane has some major historical attributes that AT decided to capture that I am unaware of. I am usually unaware of many things. However it's still ugly :lol:...

It is kinda sad, but the WalMart low pricing actually makes me hesitate at buying things at other brick-n-mortar stores (like say TRU). :/

Re: New Axis and Allies Sets ?

I saw an ad in the latest WW2 magazine and they have a new series of A&A called "1939-1945" or something like that. I was thinking the pieces may be repaints of earlier miniatures. Anybody have any intell on these yet? Hi, First, I'm new to posting here, but over the years have lurked. Second, I co...
