Where is the Avenger?
Where is the Avenger?
Is it too early to begin looking for the Avenger? I admit I've pulled into W-M's with the idea I might find one. It's not wasted time becuase now I can hopefully snag at bubbletop. RMOORE from Bloomington, IL, are you out there? Please keep us up to speed on the finds at the Normal Wal-Mart. That store is first in our area for almost everying for 21C.

Here's some links to an outfit that apparently does museum quality desktop models.
It's nice to get a preview of what a 1:18 Avenger model could look like:

Yes HPH makes quite a long list of 1/18 aircraft. Lots of juicy choices. They cost about $1700 to $3000 plus shipping from east europe. I've seen detailed shots of models they make and the quality is supurb.
They also make the Me-262 kit that has been mentioned in the past ($600) and are making a 1/18 nose section for a B-17 (no price given) as mentioned by someone many months ago (Lightning2000?).
These would make good prizes for Kamikaze to offer in future contests, huh Mark?

Avenger in Jan?
Hey Guys,
I was talking to Armando from Far Out Toys in San Jose, CA today, he said the Avenger wouldn't come in until early Jan. The 109G shoud be out about Thanksgiving. He got in a few P47 Huc's and Checkertails. Leave me a Checkertail.

Rest assured, our preorder price and delivery date WILL beat everyone on the web

These are the most detailed models I've ever seen. The Farrari 312 is magnificent.
