Don't you dare jinx it now!
If you haven't built one, those Avengers are really nice kits. It also pays to actually read the instructions, AM provided lots of good build info. I've got one that's been ready for paint and sitting on the shelf of doom for well over a decade. No fault of the kit, just my lack of gumption, I guess.

A chronic lack of mojo for some time now!
