So let's start with the wee BAC Jet Provost:
Truthfully there isn't too much to say, enough has been written about this wee gem, so I'm not going to try to add anything other than this:

Airfix de Havilland Mosquito Mk. XVI 1/72
This is the new Airfix Mosquito in 72nd scale. This kit is gorgeous, not just because the details/fit, etc. is great. It’s also cleverly engineered. The are parts you can use to temporarily cover the wheel bay and other parts have arrows [...]
