It would be useful to have a list of available postwar aircraft
Revell Hunters and Eduard MiGs, Trumpeter Sabres are well known. Here's the beginning of a list of less popular ones:
1. F Toys - Meteor
2. Shapeways - Vampire
3. Miniwings - Seahawk and Shawnee
4. Oz Models - Shooting Star
5 ?
These models are all quite rich in price with postage nudging the cost towards £20 . Are there any more out there.
Revell have an extensive range - often with weird colours. I have a Eurofighter Typhoon, A10, and Eagle. Then there are the Chinese ones - Tornado, Jaguar, couple of Russian birds. No ide who made the Viggen.

Sounds like aggressive competition between rival courier companies. Mail War in American, of course.

I was thinking immediate post war period, as opposed to the modern period which has a plethora of models.
Revell did used to do a Lightening

The Lightening is still available on Miniwings in resin. You don't need a lot of aircraft for BKC/CWC rules- but with Indo China, Falklands and potentially Korean troop/AFV types coming on stream it opens up the gaming of lots of little bush wars late 1950s - late 1970s that used kit that the first world armies had disposed off.
I had a really good skirmish game last week with T34's V Panhard 90s and French Indo China Paras versus Falkland Brit infantry.
Miniwngs also do a Bronco which is most useful COIN aircraft.
I have plans of every Helicopter UK has used from 40's to today would anyone want them if I made them in 1/144th? in Resin?

Yes please! :D Wessex and Whirlwind for starters!
If you could get them delivered by Anne Hathaway in a bikini then life would have reached perfection.

I am sure for the right price you could get Techno to deliver them in a Bikini!!! ;D
Sad thing is, he'd probably do it for free.

Not for you!
You have mocked him too much for that!
Another good reason to keep up the insults.
Is there a Lynx in that list?

At 56, I have a sex-life that is livelier than some people's fantasies! I wonder if should be running erotic awareness groups....

"I think sex is overrated
So is always getting wasted
Designer drugs and dead end jobs
And classic rock is so outdated
I'm so sick of therapy
And all the things it's done to me
How can I be satisfied?
When everything is overrated" - Less Than Jake
:D
