But they have not done the famous Glad pilot, Pattle or something like that,.... 50 kills.

Given how successful that Glad line is, I trust they will get around to that one pretty soon. Just like the continuation of the Halifax line -- plenty there left to do!!

I do not understand why that was not one of the earlier paint schemes chosen. That would be one at the top of my wish list.

As long as they maintain this impeccable quality of detail, I'm in! The Shuttleworth will be my first, as I got snookered on a Norway one a month or so ago. (I'll eventually get it!)

That and 15.5 victories in a Gladiator is pretty impressive too.

That most certainly IS when one considers Glads were usually considered 'food for prey'!

If Corgi is going to keep issuing the old releases, I hope they at least consider expanding the range of markings available. Look at the Meteor, for example. I know they put out an example with the Dutch aerobatic team markings, and the Australian one. There were plenty of other air forces that also used it; like Israel, Egypt, Syria, and Denmark. Same with the Canberra. Looks like they put out two examples in non-British markings (the Meteors listed above, and the Belgian and Swiss Hunters) and call it quits.
Expanding the range of liveries may be a way of satisfying both the home market and overseas collectors.

Their Hawker Hurricane is another one that has a fairly broad selection of liveries. I would like to see Hurricane in Soviet (With red star) Finnish, Romanian, Yugoslavian, or Belgian markings. There are also a few for captured warbird for the Hurricane in either German or Italian captured markings. I personally would like to see one in the livery of one of the Hurricanes that defended Singapore.

Or a 2 Sqn RAAF Canberra in its Vietnam livery? Bombs on the wing tips!
