Yeah I guess e-bay is a great way to go if you don't have any walmarts around. I live in the valley of walmarts. I think I have like 18 stores all within 40 min. of my home. I always find stuff eventually without the need for high priced e-bay. I have had to get help from fellow members on older out...

not a word on its offical release date yet that I can remember. If wouldn't suprise me though, there are a ton on new planes and schemes right on the horizon. So one more would hurt I guess.

Amazing! that is one great looking plane. I also hope that they do an afrika paint scheme. If you look close it appears that the slats on the leading edge of the wing move? Anyone able to confirm if this is true? I also live the detail in that canopy! Love the armor plate headrest. Excellent job 21s...

Your prayers were answered about 2 months ago when this was announced. They should be shipping to walmarts in about 3 weeks.

I've personally NOT seen mock-ups using other toy company's product, but I know it's not uncommon to use it in a NON-public situation. I'm surprised they displayed those. -quote jesse james

I FULLY agree and I would have called heads on them for that If I had been there. I just really looks bad!

Well it is a nice plane indeed. I am impressed to see the flaps and looks like a rudder and elevators. The gear look pretty good. I would say this plane exceeds my expectations. Much improved over the 5 year old mustang 21st did. (BBI fans close your ears now). This level of detail is on par to the ...

Wow that was funny I looked at that plane for like 30 seconds. thinking What the <>#$ is up with my DSL. This photo should have loaded by now. It took me a minute to realize it was painted on the plane itself. I had to laugh at myself there.
Neat find.

:? I think I will wait for 21st to re-tool the p51. My bets are with them that they will ultimately end up with the better pony. I rest my case with the new 109G pic that p-51 just posted. Look at the deatil and all the moving parts.... You can bet that they will be looking at the same kind of quali...
