Because of the people involved!

21St Century Toys Fw-190D-9 update

Fellow Hyperscalers.

There have been a few reports of landing gear breakage on the new Fw-190D-9. The first batch that shipped out had a problem with this, but the factory has already reworked the molds and the gear is now much stronger.

The first release is now in Walmart and is finished in the much loved/despised scheme of JV44. If you don't like this scheme, you will soon be able to pick up one of 3 other schemes.

Research and markings artwork has been kindly supplied by noted Fw-190 expert Jerry Crandall of Eagle Editions. He has approved all of my paint masters, so I think you will find them to be pretty cool.

The Gustav is in tooling, and it should be beautiful. Thanks to Lynn Ritger and Jerry for their feedback. I think you will find this one to be very accurate and collectible. I had a hand in the master pattern work, especially in the cockpit! 109 fans should be pretty happy about this one.

Happy modelling! Roy"

21st century toys

I went to local walmart and they didnt have them! :(


They need to redo the 51, the first run was cheesy, the landing gear and chin scoop smurfy.


All the others they have done are great.


The tiger is detailed inside.

The M-48 rocks. I love that tanks.
