Tamiya's gorgeous P-51D, Spitfires and Mosquito. HKM's Mosquitos - single- and two-stage Merlins. HKM Lancaster (OK, not single or twin, but RAF). HKM Meteor F.4 Revell Beaufighter - no longer state-of-the-art, but the only game in town. Matchbox/Revell Spitfire 22 - again, not state-of-the-art, but the only game in town. Can't think of any more at the moment, but will come back and add them if I do.

Surely it wouldn't be all that hard, or expensive, to give those old moulds the once-over and upgrade the kit with a bit more detail to today's standards? I'm thinking things like some wheel well detail (not that there's much on the real thing) and a spar to hold the wing to its proper dihedral; maybe even a revised canopy, a Coffman starter fairing and alternative props to enable more variants to be modelled. It would have to be cheaper than a complete new kit!
