21st Century Toys Models--Where are they?

[seesul]

I know it well. I used to work there. There was a huge Department of Energy science project back in the early 90's called the superconducting super collider and I worked there for two years. After it got all political and the democraps shut it down and there wasn't anything to do, I used to go downtown every day and go shopping or watch a movie.

O.K. World is small. Got a friend there, his name is Perry Giles. This monument was made by his company Ellis County Veterans Memorial
And this is his company Giles Monument Company - Waxahachie, Texas
A fate of one airman from Texas, that was shot down on Aug. 29,1944 few miles away from my home town, got us in touch with Perry. Perry is still in touch with this airman´s family. Perry asked me last year if I could write some article about this airman so I did it. And this is the article I´ve mentioned Waxahachie Daily Light > Archives > Dailylight > Opinion > 'Never forgotten'
Just to have a complete picture about this airman, here´s his story and bio Bio: Adair, John H. and Adair, John H., Soldier Rembered
Perry did a great job!!!
I´m sorry I´m off topic but thought it could be interesting for you...

Hey Guys

I need your help. I'm looking for a Fw190 from 21st century in 1:18 scale. I would prefer a Dora but an A or F would be fine too! I can't find any!!! I've looked online and Ebay... I am watching a Dora... but I can't find a good source. Please help me Bro's!!

Say Seesul... That Fw190 you have a picture of..Red 9 ...is that in 1:18 scale? ...And is Walmart selling these???????

Thanks guys!

Van, I don't think they make a 1:18 A or F, just a heads up.

 

[Thorlifter]

Sorry Van, your outta luck. They only German plane they make in 1/18 is a couple 109's and a 262. They used to make a Stuka, but I guess it's retired.

 

[Catch22]

The Dora must be as well then, because they certainly made it as I own one.

 

[Thorlifter]

In 1:18? Interesting. I guess that was retired before I started getting them.

 

[Catch22]

Here's one. I think I got it about 3 years ago, almost to the week (Spring Break, Florida) I have a couple of the older ones as well as the new Avenger and newer Bf 109G-6. I've posted these somewhere else before, but I can't remember where.

Nice Catch. What scale are those?

Walmart stopped handeling models last December.
Here is the link to 21st Century. I love the TBM and am waiting for the B-25. http://www.21stcenturytoys.com/

Nice Catch. What scale are those?

All are 1:18.

Where can I find their complete offer?
Saw a beautiful 1:18 scale of G-6 at Duxford but before I could buy it the guy in front of me bought 5 pieces and there was anything more for me
Anyway, haven´t found this model at the official web sites Welcome to 21st Century Toys

Well, they must be pretty popular then, but that doesn't solve your problem seesul.....

I'm actually working on a 1/32 Stuka along side of my 1/48 Fw190...

I´m not so skilfull like you so I gotta buy them
But they are not bad for beeing produced in China...

 

[Wayne Little]

I've seen a couple of these models up close at my local haunt....I rather like the Me262...but they are big, you need a large space to put them!

 

[Catch22]

Seesul, the issue is they've discontinued a lot of them. However, they have all of the current ones listed at their website, Welcome to 21st Century Toys . The thing is that not all of the paint schemes are listed there, as I know the Avenger has ALL of the planes of Flight 19, plus the Atlantic one that I have and a USS Bunker Hill bird.

 

[seesul]

OK, thx friends. Gotta find some shop here and ask them for their offer. The problem is they are double priced here...

 

[Haztoys]

I've got about 25 or 30 at least of the 1:18 planes and a few tanks still in the boxes never opened stored away.. Wallmart had the big stuff at one time and would put them on sale..Got some off ebay at a good price.. There said to be a 1:18 B-25 coming .. But I here the company is backing off on alot of stuff do to the economy..I may sale my 1:18's and go with the 1:24..More planes and ez'er to store...

 

[Thorlifter]

Roman, you can order them from Diecast Airplanes, Action Figures, Military Toys, Toy Planes at Bad Cat Toys at a good price. That is where I got most of mine. Of course, I don't know about the overseas shipping costs.
