Whilst we're on the topic anyway, me and my brother just recently got back in to modelling after doing it as kids (we're just in the process of finishing the 1:24th Mossie whilst I'm back in the old country over Christmas), though I tend to stick with Revell these as I really like 1:32nd and Revell do that extremely well, especially for the price, but the box art is certainly lacking compared to Airfix. Still, there's a number of kits I didn't even know Airfix did in there, like the Jaguar. Out of print now I suppose.

One question though, what is that early twin engined Lancaster-looking thing at the beginning of the second post (I think!)?

This is the one I mean:

I have another smaller version of that painting with the caption "Fairey Aviation Ltd. Hendon Night Bomber"
