I wonder if Flight Wings fixed the floppy wings?

This could be good! Hopefully they make a US release... I don't want a repeat of 2006 where I never found one at retail :P I hope they address the wing issue as well, but part of me doubts they will. The FW P-51s and Mig-15s were identical to the 21c toolings, save generally better paint applications.

Sounds like one of the planes will be in a "Bunker Hill" scheme, which is good for those that never got the 21c version; a "Bush" Avenger is long overdue and most welcome :D

Damn and I just bought a Bunker Hill one a few months back! Well at least it was only $125. But I will get one or two if they come out in the US.
