Wow! You guy's must be as old as I am, I remember well the Revell Beaufighter, 1:32 scale wasn't it? I spent many a hour pretending to be John "Cats Eyes" Cunningham with that one. I never had a Lanc model as they were not available here but I always wanted one. The Corgi 1:72 is the stuff of my dreams, perfect.
E, I too had that 1:32 P51D with the working gear, even the tail wheel retracted. Did you build yours with the optional electric motor for the prop?
I stopped building models as a habit when I discovered girls, and have built maybe 5 in 30 years including a plank on bulkhead Bluenose 2 that took 8 months to build.
These diecasts are great for those of us who are too lazy and have lost the talent and patience to create our own.
I don't know about you but I fall readily into that catagory.
