The jets set is nice although they should have dropped the F-35 in favour of a Harrier.
Not so keen on the Whittle set.  While I appreciate the history they are not much to look at.  They could at least have had one with an E28/39 on it.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptyism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

QuoteThe Vulcan is best known for flying more than 6,000 miles from RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire to bomb Port Stanley during the Falklands War in 1982.

WHAT?

Why don't they get people who KNOW about aviation write stuff like this properly, instead of hacks who haven't a clue about basic research?

And large chunks of the F-35 are made right here in the UK too, in Salmesbury and Nottingham.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Also a few errors on the Meteor, Vampire and Tonka too...

BecUse it's easier to not pay an intern to do their "research" than to get someone who knows what they're doing
