I just got my Bush Avenger as well. I think it is the best diecast model made hands down. Hobbymaster nailed the colors, detailing and panel lines. It is a real beauty. You open the box up, and I swear you could smell avgas.

You be smelling avgas anyway MD ....
I have not had a bad box yet on these latest releases so far.

Oh heck, you must've received the one that I sent back after it fell off my shelf and onto the floor....Sorry,Mikey, but I would have to be absolutely to keep it in that condition, wouldn't you agree?.... You should be able to bend the prop blade back if you're real careful, and the loose spinner can probably be fixed by propping it up with a stick.

Duly noted in my journal; "mustangdriver has one fine box" ...

Yeap, that is what I did after alittle first, but slowly bent the blade back and it all worked out. As for sending it back originally, the postage would be half the planes cost so I kept it. It's all good!
