Anyone know who makes this 1/32 diecast M34 Chaffee being offered on a dealer's website for $39.99 with a February release?
The commander figure looks like the 21st Century commander figure from their M24 Chaffee...so could this be a JSI rerelease of the 21st Century Chaffee?

That's 21st Century..... but I don't if it's the JSI release. I didn't know JSI acquired the 1/32 molds. I thought they only had the 1/18.....

GUYS:
It's from Fairfield Collectibles. I got a catalog from them in the mail today and saw the M24 Chaffee which is listed as February release. It looks like the 21st Century Chaffee to me.
If it is a 21st Century Chaffee, why would Fairfield get them in stock in February?...or maybe it's JSI's re-release of the 21st Century Chaffee.
Who knows?...but here's the link:

it could be jsi, it could be someone else who's gotten a hold of old 21c molds.

almost certainly the 21C molds. I have several 21C Chaffees and this is exactly whatthey offered.

That is a pictue of the S1 21c M-24 Chaffee. That version was actually plastic, not diecast. They were pretty common and can (or at least could) still be found for much cheaper than $40. In my opinion, the S2 32x Cold Steel M-24 was their best version. It will be interesting to find out who is remaking it, should that be the case.

And don't forget "postage and handling.'

Shameless plug here for my M-24 currently listed on ebay.... My guess is you could probably bring it home for a bit less than $40.. LOL

Notice the 21ct 1/48 Me & Mustang...quite a few other 21ct on the pages that follow...very interesting...I think it's leftover stock from the collapse, though...
