Finally, a minor pet peeve is museums displaying not-well built models.
I’ve seen some well-known collections in the US guilty of that (as well as a couple of small enthuiast rum collections in the UK..but they’re small and well intentioned, so I can certainly overlook that failing).

I have a dozen of mine on display in a suburb museum…

… in the other cabinet are ones which considering they are made by RAF guys you would expect them to be a bit better – no varnish, faded paint and yellow decals! I never thought mine were anything special, but when I saw them in the cabinet under spotlights, it boosted my confidence a lot.

I have just seen a box full of abominations in a junk shop, they wanted £10 for them – a Mossie in hideous brown and sand with ww1 American roundels, a couple of P1127s in the same, a basset in the same and a Halifax which could easily have been done up – but i wasn’t paying that much for a box of spares!

Talking of spares, are Aidfix the only ones to do a spares service?
