Best ones I can remember were the WW1 Vickers bomber, which looked fucking awesome when you'd built it up, though it got covered in dust pretty quickly, the Westland Lysander, where there was a little model of a SPY holding a BRIEFCASE no doubt full of SECRET STUFF, moulded in a posture of climbing the aircraft's ladder, and the german equivalent of the Lysander (who am I trying to kid here? The Henschel 123) where there was a little model figure of a luftwaffe photographer holding a camera over the edge of the plane.

YES @ the lysander. the first plane i made -- i mean 'that my dad made for me', of course.

the props on the lysander would spin round when blown on -- a rarity, i think (but then i always overdid the glue).

Hurricane I, spitfire IIa, spitfire Vb, me109e, ju87b, p-38, and a lancaster III all 1:72

the lancaster had a nasty prang in 1997 when it flew off a speaker due to immense noise
