I was at a local hobby store and they had tons of C-21 1/18 scale warbirds. What strike me most was the TBF Avenger...which is almost the same size as the 1/30 scale C-47 I recently sold. These planes are made of hard plastic and metal. Forget about the pilot figures but the plane itself is great and weathering is fantastic.
I wonder why Andy is sticking to the wood models? Pacific Aircraft here in Scottsdale are making same wooden planes (and so is Wood Wings) that now sport clear canopies and sell about the same price as the KC Limited Edition Warbirds featured in this forum.
The C-21 1/18 cost $54...not bad with the details you can expect from the real aircraft.
BTW, these planes are made in China. I'm sure Andy one time or the other may have rub shoulders with C-21 suppliers/manufacturer at the Kowloon side of HK.
Maybe if we Treefrogers all write to C-21, they may listen to our request. As a starter I will ask for a Storch, L4 Grasshopper, C-47, and a Horsa Glider.
