Good point...... maybe the large size of modern aircraft are easier to produce in these scales? I don't know. However, there is no doubt that modern stuff is very popular.
I would gladly take a hit in the wallet for a nice 1/18 scale A-10. (There 21C, if you're reading this, does that ease your minds a little?)

Me too. I'd gladly take a big dent in the wallet/bank account for a 1/18 scale A-10....

Go Ugly Early in 1/18!!
Still waiting and wishing for a 1/18 A-10 Warthog.

I call BS on the no market for jets idea. Has anyone looked at what the BBI Hornet and Falcon go for on E-bay?
If I wasn't so in love with mine I'd sell them and make a mint. I mean one of these birds can finance two King Tigers.

Sizes of real world jet fighters
F-104-- Length: 54 ft 8 in
F-8 crusader-- Length: 54 ft 3 in
F-100-- Length: 50 ft
Mig-21-- Length: (51 ft 8 in) including probe
