    Odd choices, since these are all available in kit form. I think we all could have certainly come up with some better groupings....

    I think same..
    I will only get one of each or only 2 or 3 mig-21..
    It could be better if they choose Mirage III E ,Super Etandart,Harrier GR3/ Sea Harrier(and let the old crown kits RIP).
    They even could name as Falklands/Malvinas war boxset.
    In place of Draken I would choose Viggen...
    Another good boxset could be the T-birds(training birds) as T-37,T-38(so many USAF pilots trained),T-2(buckeye),T-27,or the new generation as T-50 or M346, and new Yak..

    Once more, we're gonna buy models
    we already have in various forms in
    our collections. It is very sad that no manufacturer have realized
    that the most exciting period of
    airplane history, remains for sure the Fifties with all the fantastic jet planes being developped at that time in the whole world. And I
    am sure they would sell, best proof
    being the resin model market selling high priced hard to build
    models. JCP

    These are all 1950's jets.

    The Mig-21 bis has never been done before so that's a bonus. Difficult to imagine they'll top the Pit Road Drakken so that's a bust, and the Lightning is.....urgggh.

    Happy to see the Lightnings, the old Revell is hard to find then not cheap when you do.
    I agree with rmasu's 70's choices and like zang92's remarks about the early jets.
    I am surprised F Toys hasn't been done more with Soviet fighters.
