Introduction
I have had an interest in the Avenger for a very long time now and stockpiled four or so of the Accurate Miniatures kits and one of the repops from Italeri. I started this one in 2014 and stuffed up the internals so it sat on the 'shelf of doom' for a long time until I finally worked out what I did wrong and recommenced it.
The kit is a combination of the Italeri repop of the Accurate Miniatures kit, Eduard cockpit pre coloured PE set and Xtradecals markings.
