Three years ago, May, 2006, 21st Century announced the 1/18 George Bush TBM Avenger.
If JSI has the Avenger mold, it would be great to finally see the Bush Avenger---and maybe JSI could improve the mold and fix the sagging wings.

A nut, that't who. I heard from a credible source that the CEO of 21c was never really that great of a businessman and had tactually run a couple other toy companies into the ground beforehand. There were lots of questionable decisions made on his part, both concerning product development and marketing. 21c never really catered to its collector fan base and never really seemed to realize that it was dealing with a specialty product that only appealed to a small sector of the market. 21c also did not tend to take care of its retailers, whether they were a small internet company or a larger brick and mortar store.cornbreadfred wrote:Geez who ran this company?
The Bush Avenger simply must join the long list of 21c products that were proposed, but never produced. Sad, as it porbably would have been the most popular of the Avengers, and had it been released at Wal Mart instead of the Atlantic version, the Avenger just might have sold well.

I sure hope so. I proudly have all of the Avenger schemes to include each of the Flight 19 Avengers and would love to have the Bush Avenger. But, Im not holding my breath as they seem to be a little preoccupied on larger modern aircraft.
