What got me is that alot of the distributors for the Avenger had refunded many of their preorders, stating that production, distribution and delivery problems would indefinitely suspend the Avenger release. No sooner than I let a friend of mine know of this supposed delay, he picks one up for me in a local Walmart.
This bird IS huge, as the wingspan is easily over 3ft. Taking it out of the box was a mistake about as big as the plane itself. I was really hoping for the dark colored "Lost Squadron" variant, but the Atlantic "Midway" scheme will do fine.
I'll try to put up some giant pictures, later...
