Some one who has contacts within the company should inform them of this new post. No use whining if there's no one to whine to

Actually this thread was created in order to carry on the fight for a Zero from GP's board. Nobody is whining pal, hopefully 21st will eventually listen to their #1 customers and reasons for being...US!!!!...and put out this plane. I'm sure they'll find this site and pop in from time to time plus you never know, the online retailers that track the forums may request it from 21st if folks continue to express an interest. There is a difference between whining and maintaining interest, if interested in one then post as such, if not then no comments necassary. KnowhutImean!

More power to you VMF214!

The ZERO is a MUST HAVE!!! Hopefully 21st will respond to us at some point and let us know what's in the 'works'... and hopefully that will include a Zero.

This a plane that just has to be made. What is the point of making numerous Corsair repaints when, they have nobody to dog fight with? This is one of my favorite airplanes, and it has to be made!

To put it in to perspective ... not making a Zero when you have a full line of WW2 aircraft already is like running a line of WW1 aircraft and not making a Fokker triplane or Sopwith Camel! Not too bloody hard to figure out!!! It's like Larry the CG says, "like wiping before you poop, don't make sense!" Us "whiners" need to stick together because 21st already has their bs stats based on model kit sales and if no one keeps this topic hot then guess what, NO ZERO EVER! Out

I talked to a guy at 21st Century Tuesday. He told me they would eventually do the Zero.I asked if he knew anything about the forum.
He stated that 21st Century was aware of gp's (honorable discharge)

and that P51 had picked up the ball and run with it!

No whiners here, just grown men who have really grown impatient because we don't have a 21st Century toys 1:18 scale Japanese zero to fight and play with our Corsairs and come Christmas time our TBF Avengers!! We want a ZERO!!! LOL JD

man i hope 21c makes a zero soon just so we don't see threads like this one any more! :lol

Anyway, this is my first post in our new home. Very nice job P-51...glad you were around to pick up the slack!

Yippie!

Maybe a Rufe.No Zero,no rufe

I was hoping this thread would jump from GP's forum. Thanks for reminding us vmf214.

Hi Everyone,

In regards to the idea of a Zero, I think at this time in the progress of 21st century toys they should let the planes go for a little bit. The planes are really nice but there is nothing to go with them. I remember how neat it was when the first series came out there you saw P-51/109, Sherman/Panther, Jeep/Kubel, etc. That was so cool because it was like a themed series of a variety of items. Now, all we get is these planes, nothing to go with them.

I personally would love to see more armor, trucks, and figures. We need the figures to build dioramas and the trucks to do the same, etc. Nothing is worse than having a bunch of planes with no figures besides the pilots in them. It is kind of a joke in a way because I would rather have a full assortment of things.

Part of the reason I got away from the 1/18 planes by 21st was the lack of options. With 1/32 and other scales there are all kinds of accessories and items from other companies supplement 21st items and other items to make nice displays. Hopefully 21st scraps some of the planes and does some stuff for us in the truck and figure department.

Sorry guys, I had to post because this thread was almost at the bottom of the list. We can't let 21st sleep.

Good point Coreyeagle48!Sounds like you collect a little bit of everything as do I.The more diversity, the more fun as far as I'm concerned.

Did anything ever happen from this? I'd like a ZERO as well

od1each · Post by **od1each** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 4:43 am

Been so long about talk of the zero, anyone remember if this was going to be the white zero?

thanx 5thgrp

MightyMustang · Post by **MightyMustang** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 10:19 am

I would love to see a Zero but I would more so love to see the F6F Hellcat get done. This was the most important fighter in the Pacific and 21st hasnt even gave it a look but they have done many Corsairs, P-51s ect. Its time for both the Zero AND the Hellcat to be done.

Mr. Football · Post by **Mr. Football** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 10:48 am

I'd rather 21st focus their efforts on something other than a Zero. Perhaps a Typhoon?

I think we deduced that there was no white zero

. It was VERY light sea foam green that appears white. I think any Zero would have to be made in that color just to sell Pearl Harbor.

BBI is making a Zero so it's on them to give us the right scheme. I have faith

. I guess the bigger issue is when will they get around to releasing it

And the Cats are cool, but I'm glad we have a P-51, Corsair, P-40, P-38 & P-47 ahead of any feline.....

I wouldn't mind having the Hellcat. As far as fighters go, I would also like to see a Zero, Kate, Val,...
Would anyone be here interested in 1/18 B-25's or B-17's, or would that too big (or expensive) for most of you? Just curious. Kevin.

fredricchio · Post by **fredricchio** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 12:19 pm

I would probably buy at least one of each, but I doubt you could convince the manufacturers to produce them, they'd just cost too much, I would think.

digger · Post by **digger** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 12:32 pm

I would buy both also - but I think the 17 is a little bigger and therefore less likely (could be wrong, please correct me if so).
cost is no object imo - if there is a $300 King Tiger why can't we have a $100 B-25?

INTREPER · Post by **INTREPER** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 1:09 pm

I would be all over having an 1/18th scale bomber!!! Cout me in!

kevrut · Post by **kevrut** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 1:51 pm

Just think, the bombers had 6 to 10 man crews. That might mean a different line of figures.
I got the calculator out:
B-25, a 45" w.s.
B-17, a 69" w.s.
A couple years ago I ran across an old R/C model in an antique store. It was from the 50's or 60's I was told. It was a B-24 Liberator. I did the math and it turned out to be an inch short (wing span) of being 1/18 scale. I wish I could of afforded $200 for one then.
