I remember about a year or so ago, we were all agog over the 1/32 scale 21St Century Toys models. IIRC, they had a Corsair, Macchi 202, BF109F, and others. They seemed to be of decent quality, especially for the price.
But I haven't seen any for quite a while. I don't remember seeing them anywhere but Wal-Mart. I have seen them advertised on-line at Target, but the price is over twice that Wal-Mart was selling them for. Maybe Wal-Mart was asking for too big a price cut and 21st told them to go fish.
That's the other thing on my mind. Apparently Wal-Mart is getting out of the model business. While I really hate the Wal-Mart business model and what they do to local economies, they were pretty much the only source of entry-level or intermediate models.

Very nice Seesul!
Isen't there a Spit as well? My dad has the P-51 "Bald Eagle" a Kittyhawk and a Spit.
I really like the Zero. I have a Razorback P-47 "Jabo" that I bought from the museum a few years ago. I wanted more, but the missus wasn't pleased with the P-47. She does put up with it though.
Seesul, I have most of those you posted. My co-workers said I should start hanging them from the ceiling, but I think management would get pissed. Here is a link where we posted pics of where we work and you can see most of the stuff I own. I have 5 or 6 more you can't see

Hey, Seesul, that Mustang is almost as big as you are.

BTW, I´ve noted you´re from Dallas. Do you know a town Waxahachie, not far from Dallas to the south. They printed out my article last year in Waxahachie Daily light...
