Just saw this at Historic Aviation. Maybe JSI is producing it...

could just be an old webpage that needs to be updated; i believe they were the first ones to tell board members that they were cancelling their preorders as the KT had been cancelled by 21c.
The price seems lower to me than before. I wonder if they've mistaken the JSI Tiger for the KT?

I did a google search for "0099311 king tiger" and clicked on the cached page. Google displayed the cached page from February 21, 2009, but the price was shown as $134.95

With all the news about JSI coming into play, there is some renewed hope that the KT may see the light of day afterall.

They'd be wise to release it if they have the mold.
Maybe they are tweaking it a little bit as we speak?

i agree they should release it....IF they have the mold. I don't know why they'd even bother with releasing the tiger if they have the KT, though. JSI won't have all of 21c's molds, just some. 21c used 3 factories, iirc.

I'd bet that's the case. If the KT was coming out right now from JSI there'd be other vendors (BadCat, etc.) selling preorders too.
