Small Scale Military Headquarters

You guys know I am an F-86 nut, but do you think 21st Century will ever make a 32nd scale F-86? Their 1/18th scale version is nice, and they could do a really neat 32nd scale version. I sure hope they would consider a 32nd scale Sabre.

Anything made in 1/18 is certainly possible to be rescaled and 21st has a tendancy to do just that.. Many times, 1/18 models/paint schemes will show up in 1/32 (or even 1/144) and vice-versa..

I'd most definately buy one. We need foreign jets too. MiG-21 - 29, Su-27, SEPECAT Jaguar, etc... 1:32 needs the jet infiltration.

But first we need a P-38!

YES!! A P-38 is a must! Late model please! Then on to the P-61 Black Widow and Mosquito!

P-38 and A-10. Those are a must for planes. The must for vehicles is an American truck.

I agree... I could easily forsee a Sabre and a Mig 15 in 32X at some point, it seems almost logical...

True, and the P-38 was made first in XD, so why not 32x? I'd be happy for anything jet or twin engine!

I agree with all these thoughts!

I must say, since I'm partial to modern, the A-10 gets my vote. Well, and the P-38. My neighbor flew them in WWII, and I'd love to get one to give to him (preferably before he dies... Are you listening manufacturers? I may not have a lot of time here...). But those are both wants, an American truck, duece an' a half or five-ton, is a need. My forces are all teeth, no tail. We all know that never works out in the long run. I have logistical nightmares, and my one Opel truck will never be able to keep up!

FOV has one coming this year, so they claim. As happy as I am to see it I was hoping 21C would do it. I am thinking I need a dozen or so and $15 X 12 goes down a lot easier than FOV prices.

Holy cow, I am totally serious about wanting a dozen but that comes up to $180. Either I need a night job, sell the house or cut down.

Honey, call Remax!

I love the saber, but would prefer 21st 32x stays with WWII! While they would sell no doubt, how well would a 32X Ju88 or Me110 go down??

Perhaps a B17... its time 21st put in on this stuff! I mean after all they have made it through the ringer, 2002 they were nearly dead, for the last five years they have dumped product in the largest retailer in the world as fast as they could kick it out, now they are back in the largest toy store chain. The shelves usually show they do a good business. my guess is they have to be doing pretty good right now. Time to put those profits into some kick butt projects and lay off the summer house!

If we get a Sabre, I'd like a "Dog" Sabre. So cool looking!

F-86J, I believe? I love those too! I still want a Fulcrum.

The Sabre Dog is an F-86D model.

Do not insult meh! Just kidding, I thought they were Js... Hmmm...

I hear ya. The Sabre dog is a D model, hence the name Sabre Dog.

Oh I see... Easy enough.

It would be cool to see more jets in 1/32 scale. There are many subjects that can be done, including the A-10.

F-105 THUNDERCHIEF!!! With lots and lots of bombs!

I'll second that!

That would be a great plane in this scale. While their at it perhaps an A-7 too.

I want an A-6... Wish I had injection molding machines, I can do CAD work... anyone got a million dollars laying around? I'll produce these planes...
