received two Corgi 1:32nds this week both good prices via evilbay. First the Al Deere Spitfire KL-B. Was a little unsure about this one until I got it (I am collecting aces aeroplanes) and I like it a lot. One of the things that caught my eye was the stencil detail which really makes a difference - nice touch and well researched. Now, today, I received Old Crow and was quite surprised at the total lack of stencil detail on this. I know Mustangs were heavily stencilled (and I've seen some of the recently restored 1:1 D models which are laden with such markings) so this came as a bit of a disappointment. This makes three out of the four D's - guess I should go after Stinger; anyone know if it is 'stencilled up'? Has this been covered elsewhere in the forum?
