Century Wings Tomcats and Blackbirds

Century Wings, the "premium" brand. What can I say, they want premium prices too!!! CW have been releasing Jolly Roger Tomcats at an astounding rate. Even more interesting is that they're being snapped up at very high prices! CW have released at least 9 different Jolly Roger models covering VF-84 and VF-103. These include American and Japanese exclusives.

I for one am not convinced about the pricing but the models are selling. If you want one, get one, they seem to be moving fast. More interesting is the announcement of another VF-41 Black Aces F-14. These are interesting because they have black radomes where all the others don't. In low-vis guise VF-41 Tomcats splashed some Libyan aircraft over the Mediterranean.

There's also the SR-71s, in Rapid Rabbit guise, a Japan only exclusive because of the use of the Playboy Bunny infringing copyright or whatever. The next SR-71B twin cockpit derivative is the NASA version. Great models at a premium!!!
