Will we see any 1/32nd scale twin engines?

Does anyone think we will see any 1/32nd scale twins from 21st Century Toys? I would like to see a P-38, Mosquito, or a ME-110. What do you think?

I would love an Me-110. I would also love to see a He-111 and a South Pacific B-25 gunship.

Those are good choices. As long as they could keep a 32x plane within the size limits of a 1:18 P38, the largest plane made so far, I could handle that. Personally I would like to see a 32x Stuka and Avenger, but I could always make room for a Me110, Mosquito or B25....

I sure as hell hope so,...a JU-88 would be nice.

I'd LOVE to have a 32X ME-110, or a Stuka, or a JU-88, Mossie, P-38, HE-111.

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll do one of these.

What about a P-61??? Nah, couldn't do too many repaints of that one - just black with different nose art.

I think it is a VERY good possibility that we will see a P-38 and Me-110, and in the limits of an XD box, the possibilities are almost endless..

There actually is a 1:32 Mosquito - made by Corgi. Its pretty pricey (retailing for around $120) but from what I've heard, is very well detailed.

As for 32x Planes, a P-38 would be a logical step for 21c. An Avenger, Corsair, and Stuka (while not twin-engine aircraft) would also be cool and unique releases in this scale.

I dont think size is even an issue. Have you guys not seen those ride on Humvees and tanks 21st makes? I wouldnt be suprised if they went even bigger, one of the most popular things they could probably make would be a 1:32 B17, that would be cool!

I would simply like to see some new troops! Germans and Americans ETO! Its been a while three years now. Would also love some American airborne????

I just bought my first 2 1/32 scale yesterday, I have 20 1/18 and like the smaller more, I think theres way more possiblities for some great planes in this scale that we'll never see in 1/18th. I can see the 1/18s getting sold off as more 32s come in.

I agree. For me though I prefer to have planes in 1:72 or so. It's nice to keep scale between bombers and fighters. I've seen the 1:32 Mosquito and it ain't small. I think as we would get the bigger pieces size would be a problem. A B-26 would be cool but rather big in 1:32. But then again alot of guys collect 1:18 scale and I have no idea how you display that. Anyway...don't mind me. I'm sick as hell these days and kinda board so I thought I'd drop in with my thoughts.

i'm sure twins and even 4 engine planes are only a matter of time.

I could probably live with 1/32 planes, after collecting 1/18 for so long but it's the tanks, and especially the figures that are just too small for me in 1/32 scale. 1/18 is very addictive i've learned.

Luckily the Germans were so badly mismanaged, imagine 335s and 262s in full production in 40-41.

I always thought that the DO335 was a cool looking airplane. And Im trying to get my online flght sim to do a model of it.

the germans were very imaginative engineers and had a zillion very fresh and creative ideas and projects on the go (just take a look at www.luft46.com and you'll see what i mean). But that was also part of their problem.....over-engineering (complex and expensive to build, difficult to maintain) and too many different types, not enough focus on one good type (they should have just made Fw-190A's and dumped the 109G). Both the aircraft and armour industries suffered from this tendancy.

More focused and insightful leadership could have lead to their being over 2000 Me-262's flying operationally by mid '44....and NONE of them being held in reserve as bombers. Galland knew this, but his cries and pleas fell on deaf ears....
