Just had some bad news from a friend in the States who sells these excellent products. Look like they have gone bust.
This company makes the 1/18 scale tanks and vehicles as well as the new 88mm.

I hope they dispatched your goods before they made the announcement.

21st C have been struggling since they where kicked in the gonads by Walmart on the 1/6 Stuarts, Walmart was having everything 21st C could produce after a few shipment's they pulled the plug leaving 21st C with a very large stock of tanks they struggled to sell, 21st C also had a 1/6 Panzer IV and Sherman in development for Walmart

i agree with stewart, wallmart are a right bunch of gits, for doing that to 21st c', but i wonder if there is an ulterior motive for doing it, like they want to buy them out on the cheap? either way its underhanded

Thats a shame to hear, they made some interesting stuff, HUGE too! Glad I put my order in with Andy when I did, the 88 may turn out to be a collectors item if there is no rescue.
