Well now, there's some information! I might just have to hold off from the new APC to save room for the highly desired Panzer IV; we'll see, however! Its also very good to have a timeframe for the TBM and the F-104. The 104 seems like such an odd choice for a jet. The F-4 or ME-262 would be much more logical! Still, as I look at the 1:72 Matchbox F-104 sitting on my desk, I have to say that I love the clean lines of that fighter! As for the ME-262, I hope we see that next year, as well as an F-86 and Mig-15. This hobby is getting out of control!!
Tentative list of future XD planes after the release of the 109G (from memory):
Avenger, F-104, F-86, MiG-15, Me-262, F-4 and a rumour of a 'FW-110' which is most likely an Me-110. Also very likely a FW-190A and still a chance of a Zero.
This is not mentioning repaints of existing types, which are numerous. This plus BBI equals a busy, happy and expensive '05.

Thanks for the update Dave. I don't remember such a bumper crop of planes and tanks since XD first arrived. It will be indeed quite expensive

"my suggestion would be to coordinate with the moderator a link of questions on a string and they can go to that link and if they choose to respond it will be there. Ill let you know if I get anymore interesting news. "
I agree with the 100% and i think that it would be a great way for us to periodically stay in contact with 21st. Maybe in bbi.

Panzer IV
First quarter is certainly sooner than I would have thought for the Pz IV. But, given 21st's past release date slips I'm guessing we'll see it sometime later in the year. I just hope I'm surprised and it shows up on time. I can't wait to get a few of them!
Yea but...
two weks ago was sooner than we expected the M113....
