Now I'm not sure I agree with all that. I don't want to wade through the entire list so I'll just give some examples. First off, the very first HM releases have a wash that is not to my personal taste and I avoid most of them. Next, the first Kates have a very nasty case of drooping prop. I think A-4s have been a bit variable throughout. F-111? No no no. Wrong wings, unpainted canopy framing, mis-spelt names, blah blah blah. F-100, MiG-15, MiG-21, yes.
But overall, not so simple as older is better. Though some is down to personal taste.
