Perhaps the 1/18th KT release may be by someone else if 21st goes poof :roll: Sounds like the KTs are already made, just not paid for ??? So maybe, we may see them come out under a different brand if 21st slips under the surface ;)

I wonder why 21st decided to re-release the Panther instead of just making the King Tiger. I will never figure that one out.

Just because the prototype was built doesn't mean the molds were complete. There is a HUGE difference between the cost of a repaint versus the cost of new tooling.
