just wondering when I should start saving, cause it looks like the M7, PzKw VI B(p) and a Ju 87 will be on my shelf soon...followed by a Bf-109G-6

The last time 21st came out with new planes (Zero-Macchi), it was 6-9 months before we actually saw them on the shelves.. I think someone (Tko) might have mentioned that 21st has changed tactics though and aren't announcing items until they are already in production.. So we may see these quicker than that.. :wink:

Nah, that's not right. Don't scare the kids Harry. The rumor of the 2 planes (no pics) was 10/20/05 and the products showed in stores by the end of February. I think the planes weren't even revealed until the month they came out.

Aparently they're out! Nothing new in my area, but I haven't done a full check. I'm glad they're appearing on the west coast first (just like the Avenger) however, also like that plane, I highly doubt I'll find these planes in my area for some reason... Still, at least they're out :D

looking for the same info....

I was wondering the same things. I'm really hot to get the M7 and the Sherman Dozer! Anxiously awaiting their arrival!

Many of the new products shown are shipped, on the water, or almost finished in production! Remember about 8 months ago there wasn't a whole ton of stuff to talk about that was new? Well that's because 21st was already making these items!!!! And they have waited to talk about it so that the wait was not nearly as long for fans.

Gone are the days of waiting years for product! people can call me out say what ever they want but look at the trend lately...
Dual pack are out only weeks after the announcement, 1:48 & 1:144 planes are out only a couple months after the announcement. Makes you wonder just how far off the MiG and F-86 are... or the new halftracks.

The new 32x planes were in final production when we ran the article. Roy had a finished production sample on his desk of a 32x corsair last week. I would say start to make room in your collections and on your credit cards!!!!!

I would say start looking at your local WM - they have been spotted already. Both the Corsair and the Stuka.

Came across the 1/48 Dogfighting set, also both Iron Horseman set. I finally got my 1/32 German Tiger tank I been searching for years. You talk about a happy camper. I was proud to added them to my collection. Still hunting for the 1/18 scale Avenger. I hope Batcat would sale same.

Looking back at 21st announcements and with time for them reaching stores in my AO is about 2 months.. If that is typical, then we could see the Black 12 Fw-190 around the first of September..

I found the new Stuka and Corsair last Friday - which greatly surprised me as these came out so quickly :shock:
The Corsair is the VMF-111 version, showed in the initial 32x Corsair announcement on Area21 last June. The Stuka is the S3 (Stukageshwader 3) version with the angular green cammo and yellow cowling.

Both are incredibly well detailed and exceed both the 1:18 versions in terms of overall detail and accuracy. The Corsair, for example, has the window underneath the cockpit, with control stick detail, plus fully detailed pannels and switches. Not to mention the optional ordinance options. The Stuka also has the optional ordinance plus a very detailed cockpit and the correct wing-flaps. The pictures on the 21c fan site do these birds justice, as that's pretty much what they look like :D
