Century Wings Carols, “Its Beginning to Look alot Like February”

CW001614

With their recently released “Santa Cat” being checked off from every aircraft collectors holiday wish list, Century Wings is turning the clock forward by a couple of months with their latest release – an operational scheme F-14B that saw action over Afghanistan in 2001. Based upon a bird that flew with VF-102 “Diamondbacks”, their latest deployment of the Tomcat will be strengthened to a release run of 1,500 pieces, up several hundred pieces from their most recent Fleet Defender replicas, and perhaps a sign that demand is once again outstripping present supply levels.

Century Wings Continues to Sky Rocket in Value

CW001601

What do you say when you see 1:72 scale Century Wings F-14s commanding $500 or more on ebay and people more than willing to pay the price? Even the recently released VX-9 Vampires, ‘Vandy 1’ (#CW001601), is already going for well in excess of its MSRP, just a week after its debut. When you consider the fact that the global economy is still recovering, that’s saying a lot for a company that seems willing to pump out more of the same year after year.

 

Anyway, we hope more of the F-14s, SR-71s and other aircraft CW has been known to pump out are in the pipeline, since it says a lot for the manufacturer, its products, and impeccable standing within the diecast community.

Century Wings Holds Up Its Latest F-14 for Scrutiny

CW001600

Delayed until January, Century Wings has finally rolled open its hangar doors so onlookers can peruse their latest F-14 installment. Based upon a bird that served with VF-1 “Wolfpack,” during 1991 (CW001600), their newest Fleet Defense Fighter boasts loads of armament and hi-fidelity features we’ve all come to expect from Century Wings. We’re hoping that more new aircraft aren’t too far behind, possibly including some new aircraft types long rumored to be languishing on the drawing board.
