Small Scale Military Headquarters

Any idea? I was looking foward to it for Christmas, but then I saw at Badcat Aviation that it was delayed. I hope its not canceled

The Avenger should be showing up somewhere 4Q of 2005, hopefully. It will DEFINATELY be done............

4Q? Last i heard when i spoke to Roy a month ago or so it would be out probably March.

Expected first half of '05 are: F-104, Avenger, F-86, MiG 15 and Me-262

You know something i don't, Ski?

This is going to be an exciting year! Gotta get my Christmas list going

OK, well that answers my question from the other post! Lets hope this ambitious time frame holds true. That will mean a bunch of great aircraft by at June!

No, I'm sure you are correct Andrew. I didn't know that the Avenger would be in stores that quick. You know more than I do........

i wonder if 21st was having the same trouble with the Avenger that IL-2 and Oleg Maddox had with it, Gumman not letting them use it's "likeness"

I think March is a little ambitious - that's next month! We know the 104 is first and it's not even finished yet . March would be 1st quarter and quite a nice surprise......

Yes the F-104 is just barely finished, but we've been talking about the Avenger since before the P-40 was first even on Wal Mart shelves!

"talking about"
We've been "talking about" a lot of things for a long time, that don't mean they're around the corner....
Btw, I noticed they say the end of April for the 104 - which would mean nothing new for 2 months? In years past I'd say that's normal but the way they've been cranking stuff out it seems like a while. Maybe they will surprise us with something like they did with the Truck!!

Don't know how valid this is, but as stated by FarOutToys:

"The powers that be have one again pushed back the release of this item to April 15. we apologize for the inconvenience. We have no control over these events."

That would be great, but April 15th is right around the corner and no word from 21st. Plus, 21st is definitely releasing the F-104 in mid-April if I remember correctly from the website. So if the Avenger came out in that timeframe too that would be an pleasant surprise.

I wonder, though, if the recent factory QC issues have something to do with the delay of the Avenger.

I would hope that we see the Avenger sometime very soon, April or even May would be quite nice. All of us have waited over a year for this plane. Enough with the delays and mismatched (though cool) 1950s era fighters. Stick with what was promised and deliver the Avenger!
