Very good calls for a Korean War plane set, or for a hypothetical "Cold War Goes Hot" campaign ca. 1946-48.

But, I had to draw the line somewhere, so I limited my "1946" selection to just planes which were in testing (and went into service after the war in 1945-46) or were "working up" for the Invasion of Japan when the war ended in August 1945.

IMO, the regular D.H. 103 Hornet Mk. I (not the Sea Hornet) and the D.H. 100 Vampire Mk. I would count as a "1946" aircraft for the RAF, since they were in production in early 1945.
