Add in shipping and the total price is approaching $500! Let's hope the paint job is perfect for that kind of money.

Does JSI have the Focke Wulf molds? If not, then the old Focke Wulfs, as well as the other planes for which JSI doesn't have the molds, may keep increasing in price. But, one would think $460 would be as high as prices could go for a single plane.

With this kind of pricing for production schemes, I can give up my hopes and dreams to ever getting a Tender Terror.

Ouch!!!
I need to check see if I have one. Not that I would sell it but it's nice to know.

That is the nicest scheme.

I recently sold one to a fellow board member. Guess he got a deal afterall :wink:

Funny how 21c actually had to offer a contest to get the FW-190s moving off the shelves at mass retail. My local Hobbytown store even had a couple "Black 1" FW-190s that sat around for months. I should have gotten more then, but I didn't want to pay the retail price for a duplicate plane :roll:

I had better take extra good care of the two FW-190s I have left :wink:

Buckyroo,
I had one of the Tender Terror planes and sold mine, because I did not like the scheme and I didn't think I would get anything out of it if I waited to sell later. Who knew? :?
Tender Terror might fetch 1000.00 + in this market today...

So, is this a realistic price? or what?

This seller is selling a bunch of stuff at what I would consider a low price. This includes a few item I am "watching" with a very low price, I would like to have. :roll:

Is this guy nuts? Or is this plane the new "Tender Terror"???

:shock:

That is a great looking FW 190,but $460!

I have always liked the FW 190,and only have one.At this rate,I might not get another.

With the prices that the Me 109's have been going for,and now this,I might not be adding any more :(

It came down to two bidders right at the last minute.
Is this a case of one buyer paying whatever it takes to get these models?

I just e-mailed my friend with the link who has that FW-190.

His reply was OMG! :shock:

I'm the one that got him started buying 1:18 planes back in the day by giving him a BBI "Old Crow." then he went ape sh*t and bought everything by them and 21st.
Now he's got more planes than I do.
At least he gave me a plane too, but I wish it was that one now.
Doh! I don't have one. :? :cry:

Does anyone have insight of what molds Jsi has and doesn't have. I would think that they purchased all of the ones available-which would be all except the Spitfire and Kubelwagon.
