I was looking over the 21C website and notice this under the 1/32 scale heading:
The popular 32x products first emerged in the form of Tanks, Figure sets, and various vehicles. This line is designed to feed the collectors hungry needs for detail on a budget. The smaller scale also affords fans the ability to amass large personal armies and airforces without the guilt of running out of display room! This scale also allows for larger subjects to see completion where other larger scales would not permit. 21st Century Toys Inc. has introduced many themed brands such as Xtreme Wings, Cold Steel, Iron Horses, Dogfight and even “build it yourself” model kits.
Please note the color and bold font are my own, not 21C. I know we have all talked about how cool it would be to see twin engine AC but I think this is the first time 21C has acknowledged a future there.
I have always tried to take a zen-like approach in accepting whatever releases come our way, but let me say I WANT A LIGHTNING! This has got to be their next release. The only other one that makes sense is a Spitfire, but we already have a FOV offering. I love my Maachi but but now is not the time for more obscure offerings.

I'd like a Me-110 or 410, and a late-model lightning as well. For more "obscure" airaircraft how about a Grumman Tigercat or a Bristol Beaufighter!

This has to be how we get a B-25, and if sales are great, then a B-17!

I'd like a Me-110
If I was making the case for a twin, that would be my first choice as well.

I am guessing they need new, larger packaging and should start with a Lightning as it would move more than any other AC. That should open the door for their second release, the ME-110, right?

IF 1:18 can get a B25, then they can do B17s, B29s, B24s and even C47s in 1:32!
Would also LOVE to see a Waco glider for the FOV paratroops!
