I wonder if anyone has ever seen or even built Real Models Avenger conversion? Seems to be the only kit of the Avenger currently available.

I have not seen or build it, but it is very old set, so I wouldn't expect much from it...
Also, it's designed for old Academy Humvees, so it disqualifies it for me.

According to scalemates Zvezda 3576 is a copy of Italeri kit.

Different beast. It's indeed an Italeri reboxing, but not a reboxing of Italeri kit #6387 :

It is a model of a prototype (as most Italeri Humvee kits) Avenger and differs in many details from the production version.

Giving them the same item number doesn't help

Yeah, that's not the best idea when trying to be helpful for the customer. Might sell a bunch of one kit if people think it's another. Just not a great business model long term.
