Beautiful model. But when I went up to the LMA show at Cosford recently, we took the free bus over to the museum, where one of the the museum guides spent 10 minutes slagging the original aircraft off while standing beside a real one.

 

He listed so many shortcomings that I can’t remember them all, but included being under powered and too slow to intercept the bombers it was sent to shoot down, over complicated undercarriage, and a turret which he reckoned would fall out if the aircraft was inverted.
