I just saw them on 21st's site they look great, but dang they're small

I still can't find the 4 german 1/144th tanks I put in my office. I'm not knocking 21st or the scale, more power to them; its just with my eyes 1/32 looks small and at this point in time 1/18th is just right. God help me I don't have room for 1/6th.
Keep up the great work 21st!!!!!

Both those planes do indeed look good! The mustang is especially cool as there aren't too many of them in 1:144 scale. Can't wait!

It is a weird but somehow appealing little scale! The thing is that they kinda fun like that you know? (kinda like those play school star wars figures) The detail is pretty darn good for such a small scale. I have a few of the tanks hanging around so a few planes will be nice to add. They do have that "cute" factor.... It will be fun to see what happens with these.

The dragon wing miniatures looks way better and dont think these ones will be much cheaper . But 21stc are targeting ordinary consumers not collectors so these will probably go home for the Walmart crowd

I'm going to have to get some of these cute lil birds. I like the 262. Isn't that Rudolph Sinners mount?

that's a real paint scheme on the 262 is it? Uuuuugly.

With whom do you wargame, Ski?

I always said 262s had the worst variety of schemes...green and blotchy, green and striped, green and...green..

But I do think they will be substantially cheaper than the Dragon birds - I know the 21C 1:144 armor was about one third of the price of Dragon's.

I like the paintschemes of many ME-262s. The one for the 21c 1:144 version is not my favorite, but the plane still looks good.

*Has flashbacks to Galoob's Military Micro Machines*

I like the little buggers.

Will buy if these have swappable landing gear!
