I think that they might have used a warbird as a basis of their study. The shades are off some but, I didn't think it was that bad.

Probably right mustang.

Should look closer to this......

[mustangdriver]

That is the exact aircraft I am trying to get. THat was one of Bush's aircraft. I think Corgi and Hobbymaster are both making this aircraft. I think they will get the shades spot on.

Much as I want an Avenger I see no need to buy the IXO until the Corgi/Hobby Master ones arrive. If by some miracle the IXO is better I'll buy one then. But with competition coming why not wait?

From an English guys perspective (who loves U.S. Navy stuff), I hope they don't bring out an X/2 George Bush T.B.M.

Interesting though it's been - the subject has (by now) been hacked to death (certainly over here).

We've had a (real) flying example, attending all the airshows, in those markings over here, 10 (or so) years ago (that was sold & went back 'Stateside)........

The example (still) hanging from the roof of the American Air Museum, at Duxford, (hardly suprising, as the official opening ceremony, was conducted by the Ex-President himself)........

also Accurate Miniatures realeased a George Bush version in 1/48th.

Here's hoping that NOT all future T.B.M.'s are released as X/2 - however great or famous the man was/is/continues to be, (with his son as current leadership of the U.S.).

C'mon wakey, wakey - there ARE other T.B.M. schemes to choose from !

No argument here.....I don't want Barbara, thanks.

I do want to get a Barbara, but I would also like to see one of the Midway Avengers as well. There are alot of different paint schemes that would be cool. The RAF also used the Avenger.

There making both in a 1/18 and 1/72nd next year...

• The IXO/Altaya Avenger model is not too bad. The color is bright blue with little interior detail.
• It is very heavy model with weak main landing gear. If you display it on its gear it becomes unstable...it shakes..and eventually will fall apart.
• The funny thing is that I could not locate a hole where the display stand could go in...so it has to be sitting on the landing gear...
• I do hope that Hobby Master release is not going to have this problem.
• I'll keep mine till the other release then I'll sell this one.

Greetings to all from Canada...

The hole for the stand is in the bombay.
