1:18 Avenger review....

Post by tracer » Mon Oct 29, 2007 7:58 am

I collect mainly 1:18 scale cars and a friend of mine recently sprung a deal with many manufacturers (including 21st Century and Admiral).
He posts video reviews on his site.
His current review is the Lost Squadron Avenger.

Give it a look and let me know what you think.

Wow. Good deal. I hope your friend continues to review 1/18 scale aircraft. More exposure means more sales means more variety from more manufacturers.

Color me impressed.

i didn't know the little door on the right side opened....lol.

Good review, very slick. He forgot to mention that the wings sag, the bay doors arent' hinged like on the real avanger, the torpedo only has one shackle... :)

I think this is good exposure for 21c; i don't know how many people view this guy's show but it's a good way of getting new people into our fold. :wink:
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

Good find! It's great to see 21st get the publicity it deserves!

Thanks for looking fellas! Joe is a lot of fun and was even featured on the Home and Garden television show Look What I've Done where he showed the race track that drops out of the ceiling, how it made it all, and all the fun stuff.

Joe just launched his site a couple of weeks ago and seems to having a blast with it. I can't wait to see what he has in store from Admiral.

Did any of you catch the "Glitch"? The give away car for being the first to report the glitch in this review is a $129 dollar GMP diecast!

P.S. Ski, I know several guys from The Diecast Pub that have been waiting for authorizations to join here.

I think the glitch is that he described the ailerons as flaps. :wink:

Great review.

Regards,
Jason

That is a great review!!! I think he did a fine job with the production and the only "glitch" I could find was the same as Jason pointed out, but overall, a very professional piece of work.. :wink:

The "Glitch" he was looking for the that he incorrectly stated the engine as a Wright Whirlwind. It should have been Wright Cyclone :wink:
I'll let you fellas know when he posts similar reviews that may be of interest here.

Cool another 1/18 car collector! Or should I say 1/18 scale collector, because once you buy a plane or tank, they just seem to accumulate magically.
