I read from another forum that this bird is being redone and won't be available till early part of 2008?

That, apparently, would be the 1/31 version of this model.

Saw this bird today. It is a non-weathered version (only saw it briefly in the box) and not sure if there is an enthusiast version.
Generally, a huge improvement over prior FOV 1/32 models. Probably due largely to the fact it is a new subject (not another P-51) I thought it was pretty nice. Paint seems much more accurate than prior FOV efforts. Price seems a little hefty ($40-50), but still a decent addition to the scale.

Hey bud, how did the rivets look?

So I take it, you bought one? If you did, do you mind taking some pictures and post it on here for us beggars?

Thanks!

Nope, was not sufficiently impressed for the price, especially since it is apparently not a weathered enthusiast version and therefore could appear at Target some day.

Honestly, I did not focus on rivets, especially since it was still in the box. That said, if the rivets appeared overdone, as I seem to recall is the case with prior FOV 1/32 models, I think I would have noticed that.
Basically, I want to wait to see if these show up at Target or otherwise appear as a weathered enthusiast version.
