Hi Clint / Stig. I'm sure you are not old enough to remember the AURORA WW1 1:48 models from the 1950s ( I do!) but we thought they were great despite the inaccuracies ( which we didn't know about), the markings pressed into the plastic and odd colours--my Breguet was bright green. Also there was little information on markings and colours.
Later in MERIT / SMER ranges. This is the list; photos from old "Flying Reviews" also much missed.
Regards
Nick
