Am I the only one thinking this.... now that they are promising a Mitchell in 1/18, can a 1/32 be far behind?
Be still my heart....

I hear that larger 2 engined planes (and even 4 engines) are in the works for 1/32 scale, but I can't say which ones or when....

It would have been nice to hear something at Toy Fair...hopefully they're just holding back like they did with the B-25 announcement...

I think 21st prefers Comicon instead of the Toyfair for announcements, so you can probably expect something then.. :wink:

Were they even there last year? It was the only time I've ever been and never saw them around...

yea but how much for a 1:18 B25

This will be the USS Flagg of 21st....a really cool toy but priced out the reach of most buyers i bet or just too big for most people.

Biggest Joe toy I had was the General w/locust heli. and it was huge.

A 1/32 scale B-25 is really a possiblity in my opinion. I will cry foul if it happens though because I know exactly where they would have gotten the idea from, LOL :) But honestly, I expect we see one. I know from building it, the B-25 in 1/32ish scale is roughly the size of the 1/18 ME-109 so that is certainly a possibilty.

It'd be interesting to see what other planes they would try. The good thing about 1/32 is the price point, which I love. You really can't go wrong with these planes for the price. I buy mostly 21st and fill in missing with models from the other companies. I am actually quite surprised 21st doesn't try a P-38. I really thought we'd see that in 1/32 since they have the 1/18 mold for it already.

That's the thing that concerns me with 1/32, if we get too big, we lose the great price point. Might be a turn off from people who are buying them for that reason, but we will see. I for one would love to see a 1/32 B-17 or something of that nature.

I would consider a B-25 in 1/32, but I'm gonna pass on the XD version, that thing is going to be a MONSTER, and for me it's just not practical to display anything that large. Anyway, I'm happy for the guys that are excited about getting the XD version. 8)

That's what I dont' get...they can put out a 1/32 scale bomber and use the same footprint and box size they use for the 1/18 planes, and get out some really great twin engined planes that are neglected. I would still buy a 1/32 bomber that is the same price as a 1/18 plane; storage space is my only problem, and I would gladly make room for a 1/32 bomber...

Hope So!

I would luv to see a B-25 and He-111 in 1/32. I wonder if the B-26 is not too far off in either 32 or 18 scale?? Especially since the B-26 and B-25 are very close in size.

I saw a 1/32 Do 17Z model kit at the Hobbyshop last time I went, well a good number of 1/32 kits, but the 17Z just stood out as something different.
