Hotspur and Henley challenge that assertion.
;D


I don't think that they win with their challenge, but they certainly aren't attractive. The fuselage bomb bay makes them look like an obese Hurricane.

IIRC that's exactly what the Hotspur and Henley were.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
