The reply on their Facebook page for release is within 2 - 3 weeks, making it by the end of April.

Thanks for the info! I did a Google search and noticed their are a few shops online in the US, that carry the Subs and other kits from Micro Mir. I hope they get this one. I also found some listings on E Bay that may be a source for the kit when released. Does the Manufacturer sell direct?

No idea on direct sales - I'll ask.

What is shown here is the Avis plastic parts with no apparent change. The wing will be interesting to see the changes, as well as the PE.

Their reply was 'or you can directly' - so I guess retail outlets or direct from them.

I found this shop in the US that is listed by Mikro Mir as a distributer.

They posted a shot of the wing, although I don't know if this is the Avis wing or the Mikro Mir wing?

Hard to tell. It looks the same in the photos as the Avis wing. So if "New" it must be either textured or perhaps just a more crisp molding. Hard to tell from the photo!

Looks like the Avis wing. If so, just a little clean up, and planning for mounting the wing, and control lines.

I'm very tempted by this - so nice to see manufacturers starting to produce and release (actually) in 1/32 after a long hiatus.... Marc

Out of interest, here's a link to a review of the original Avis kit, from the Large Scale Planes site.

Just ordered mine from ebay seller in Ukraine  ;D Even with shipping the total came out $5 LESS than I paid for my last AviS BX3201 WITHOUT shipping! I hope this time the kit is packed with more than brown wrapping paper around the kit box.

Me to - 33$ plus 12$ shipping (£36 UK).  Hopefully as the kit is less than £30, I won't be charged import duty - we'll see.
This will hopefully be a bit better than the Battleaxe and Falcon kits I have, but not yet started.

I'm glad you posted on this Rob - just did the same  :)

There were 'three left' when I hit the buy button, now there's just the one and, according to the heading notes, apparently its a limited issue of just 500 kits (that could of course mean the seller has only 500!)

Whatever, this is a particular favourite so thanks for the heads up.
