LATEST UPDATE FROM MY SUPPLIER

21st Century ARE NOT going under, the press got the wrong end of the stick as they are closing down one of there larger warehouses in the States and doing what most companies are doing at the moment cutting back products and staff.
There will be very few new items this year as they will be concentrating on shifting old stock.
Once the market improves they will continue with bringing out new items
Good news

Hi Andy Thats great news lets hope they do keep producing stuff like the 88mm gun and come out with the 1/6 Sherman thats been in the pipeline for years it would be the way I could afford a 1/6scale .

regards pete

atleast thats some good news this year, what with the current economic crisis, i wonder how long it will take them to get back on a sound footing?

That's good news, but I bought three halftracks quick due to the scare. Still, I got two M16's and a German with the big gun for $45 CDN each with the shipping....and that's NIB. Glad to know I can buy more if I like them (and if the R/C conversion goes well).

Its a shame we can't get more of them over here. As a product they are quite well priced, its just the US postage that tends to shaft you. Having said that, one company over here does stock some of the stuff but when I checked it still worked our cheaper buying from the US. Good ol rip off Britain at its best.

Hi Andy Let see some Pics of the 88mm

regards pete

I'm picking mine up from Andy tomorrow, can't wait as he says the detailing is pretty phenominal. Get it weathered and got just the spot alongside a PAK 75 for it.

Hi Abo I will have to wait for postman pat to bring me mine have cleared a space for it to go while I build a bunker for it and work out how to fit it with I.R.battle system.All the new stuff comming out have loads to do glad I dont have to go to work wouldnt have time for my tanks.

I know what you mean pete, dunno where I found the time before I retired. It's a real tear jerker waving the wife off to work each morning.

Most of the hobby stores around here in Los Angeles don't have much of their stuff in stock. They say they have ordered, but have not received delivery. So of course the prices go up since they believe they have the last one on the planet. I bought 3 half tracks ( 2 American, 1 German) a Stuka and a ME 109 and a 88 for less than half of what it cost any where else from Monkey. Thanks to the heads up from this forum.
