    Mar 21, 2008 - For all those F-14 fans, a super die cast model #1

    Century Wings has been making an awesome new die cast models this past year in 1:72 scale. They started off with VF-84, the Joley Rogers wings and have gone on since with several super die cast pieces. The Jolley Rogers are now hard to find and have a secondary value of over 200 dollars on eBay. Impressive as they sold originally at $ 60 just a year ago. They are re-releasing another JR scheme in a more limited edition. If you lke the F-14 and want the best of the best in F-14 models, as well one that will probably shoot up highly in value over a short period of time, you should get this model:

    I have the first two along with quite a few others. Really an out standing company for aircraft models in this scale, absolutely worth getting if you are an aircraft model fan.

    I can vouch for the quality of the CW diecasts - they're virtually indistinguishable from a built/painted plastic kit. I too have the Jolly Rogers Tomcat (and others) and it's great! I can't wait until they do the Phantom.

    I have AJ 200 and 210, as well the Moonlighters A-6 and a Fist of the fleet A-7 on order. My son has the Sundowners F-14, Panther A-6 500 and just received his A-7 Maurader. All beautiful birds.
    Hobby Masters F-4's may preclude CW from doing the F-4's for awhile. I am looking forward to the CW F-8 in the near future though.
    I also have HM's NASA F-104 on order. The first HM bird I will have ordered.
