Small Scale Military Headquarters

Roy announced in his interview with the fan club that we will be seeing 3 new planes, which one being a "surprise".. So, shall we start the speculation of what they will be????

I sure hope one of them is a 32X of the 109 G-6. I also would love a FW 190-A8.

Hmmmm, A ZERO?!?!?!?!

I'd love to see a 32X Stuka or a Corsair. A P-38 would be nice too.

My vote/guess is a Zero or a Stuka.

C2000

My list of "wants":

Bf-109G
Fw-190A
Stuka
Me-110
Zero
Corsair (only to go with Zero)
Ju-88 (goes in an XD box, right??)
Hellcat (see Corsair)
P-38

I guess that about does it..

B-24
B-17
PBY
Lancaster
Martin Marauder
A-20
B-25
B-26
Mosquito
C-47




All I can dream of

I bet you see an Avenger in 1/32nd coming out soon.

A Spitfire (with the Polish markings, of course ). And/or a Hurricane.

While this is good news, my biggest questions is actually WHEN will we be seeing them?? I'm tired of getting excited about things until there is some confirmation (which even then sometimes doesn't help). For all we know it might be another 1-2 years before we see them!!

I can wait on the releases, given that the new ones are showing up now.

As for the speculation -

Spitfire, Corsair, Stuka or P-38.

But then there's the unexpected surprise... an F-104?

Good one, Harry!! A JU-88 would be nice to see. A HE-111 or a ME-110 would work too.

C'mon 21st, shock us!!

C2000

After having been dealing with speculative releases and release dates for 3+ years, you learn to take everything you hear from 21st with a grain of salt, and just be happy when it finally shows up on the shelves.

Exactly! That's why I'm not even gonna speculate.....I'll just wait till they are announced or start showing up.

You can always just say nothing... then when the planes are announced exclaim "Those are what I said they'd make!"

Just a quick side note: I had the pleasure of needing to speak to Roy about something today. He wanted to add a little more info to the concerns of "when" these new planes would see light of day...

I quote "hop on to the 1:32 board sometime, let those guys know that while I can't say specifically when they will be out, it's ok to let them know that 2 of the 3 planes are already quite deep into the production process."

I was happy to hear this myself. So the million dollar question is did I find out what they were?... Of course I asked!!!!

This was the answer "you know the rules... it's still too early to reveal them. However, You can let the fans know the guess of a Starfighter is cold one, not even close to warm."

So there you have it!

I'm betting one is an Avenger, I was looking at the Pics of the prototype from Comic Con and there next to the model is a small box ith a TBM from flight 19. The box was WAY to small to be for a 1/18 aircraft but perfect for a 1/32nd scale one.

(You can see the photo on the Area 21 club site at 21stcenturytoys.com check the pics under the comic con coverage)

The 1/32nd Avenger will make its debut before the 1/18th version?

It's obviously going to be a Spitfire, Hurricane, & a Zero
Or perhaps some other combination of planes

I also made the same assumption, but I believe it was determined that the box was a "prototype" for the upcoming 1/18 version and so it was made smaller.. I think it even says 1/18 on the box..

I would venture to say that the "2 planes already deep in production" would be two existing XD planes downsized for the 32x scale, similar to the P-47 and Fw-190 which are downsized versions also.. I do hope the 109G is one of these, it would make me VERY happy..

A clever deception my friend part of Roy's "cunning plan" to keep us all guessing.

I had plenty of time at Comic Con to check everyting out. The Flight 19 box concept is for the 1:18 scale line my understanding is that it will be part of the special edition line hence the special box art.

These concept boxes are smaller simply due to size and a desire to keep more display room for product at the shows.

I don't think the Avenger is one of the planes in this round.

I saw one of the plane prototypes on Roys desk when I was in town visiting 21st for the day. This was about oh... 6 months ago! So I can confirm that they are deep in production.

I said hey cool you are doing a _____ in 1:32! Roy said yeah, you think that is cool wait till you see the other 2! So I know one of the 3. But I am under an NDA on releasing that info till I get the official word. Everyone will be pleased! I don't mean to tease I really don't. -sorry.

Did I mention that now is a good time to jump into 1:32 scale planes!....

Hey - I was only speculating!!

Glad the designers read the boards, however.

Yep, they do read the posts. 1:32 F-104 would be a cool pick though! I love the 1:18 versions. My money is on a Brewster Buffalo. ...just kidding.

Awwww C'mon TKO.. Give it up.. If these are already in production, then you're not harming anything by telling us what they are.. Again, I'd MUCH rather hear it from you then see it on the Walmart Recon thread..
And besides, it gives us something to look forward to..

How about whispering it to me and I'll blab. That way you won't be blamed. I'll think of a cunning lie.

I am watching the development of these pretty close! I ask Roy every chance I get. Trust me you will hear about them before they show up on shelves. I don't think I was supposed to see the one that I did see. Remember 21st, watches these threads and I sure don't want violate my Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA). They are close and I know the one I saw looked so good in 1/32! The one I saw was WWII.
Not a jet.
