Dear Customers and Friends,

finally the new 21st
Century Toys items arrived. Unfortunatly not all items we ordered have made it. Somehow 21st didn't get the whole order under way. But we will track it and see that the rest will follow soon. So visit our website frequently to be informed what's new!

Arrived have the long waited for
CF-104 Canadian Air Force in "Tiger Meet" colors, but only two of them have landed here. They look great and I am thinking about keeping one for myself so better order quick to get one!

This was all news in the aircraft section. Due to the fact that new models are not announced for this year, there will only be new color shemes on known aircraft types.

Arrived newly, in the 1/18 scale, have the
Humvees in the versions of the M1025 Command Vehicle, M988 Truppentransporter Hard Top  and Soft Top.
Also a small amount of the Dodge WC 51 3/4 t Waponscarrier has arrived too. A nicely made model which fits to all aircraft as well as tanks. This one is a rare item too!

Of the figure sets in 1/18 scale we have got some items of the Japanese Imperial Marines and also the
US Marines dressed in camouflage suits. The US Marines are of the same making as the already, mostly sold, first series of Marines dressed in plane kaki. Only difference is they are wearing camouflaged suits! The US Marines have arrived in larger numbers, so they will be available for a longer term.
More Figures will follow soon.

In a few days more novelties will arrive, including 1/6 scalemodern weapons. There will be russian guns as well as US-Army submachineguns and rifles of WWII.
