The 1:32 Aircraft in this production are very well made and accurate. I have heard that the company is have a very hard time with production problems in China and distribution in the US. It seems to be very uneven and sometimes the more scarce items like the Spitfire and Corsair models do not reach the stores and you will be hard pressed to find them on hte WEB or E-bay stores. Tonight I spent 3 hours looking all over the place for the VF-17 Jolly Rgers Corsair and finally found it at Toys N Swods.com for $18.99! Not bad, but for those of you who can remember "Playmates" Star Trek line in the 1990's and how they had the very same trouble with distribution of their lines. I have heard that 21st Century Toys is facing employee layoffs in the near future because of the lack of interest in their products. Wal-Mart and Toys - R - Us are reporting slow movement of same item overstock because of the company's very uneven product distribution. My advice would be if you see it buy right then or you will miss out, like those of you who missed out of the Red "B'" ME-262, any of the Corsair versions, or the Tex Hill P-40 (remember that one?). So far I have 14 of the aircraft in my collection, most of which are the more common types. My prize is the Red "B" ME-262 I must say. If anyone is having trouble with locating any of the planes or would just like to talk about it, please post.
