It's the old Matchfix syndrome; back in the day when plastic was king EVERY kit manufacturer would release a Spitfire, a Bf 109, some flavour of Phantom, an F-16 .... well, you get the idea. It's what the pocket money/impulse buyer/Granny at Christmas market bought, so that is what they released; every now and then one of the mainstream manufacturers would be a little more adventorous, which usually ended in tears - Frog often stepped outside the mainstream, and went under as a result, and Matchbox nearly ended up the same way but were bought out (which at least saved the moulds).
Okay, maybe I'm too young and too stubborn, so I fail to see that...

I would love top of the range models but I don't support payware
So I could never 'demand' an addition to the payware hangar.

Nope certainly not.it was a joint US/Sweden project...........consider the F.27 is not British although 65 percent was British made and almost as much with the Felloship too.

Well I never knew it was joint US never knew F27 was 65 british made well you learn new things from you garry nearly every week Yeah guess so same with the F100 thinks its ever 75% or 85% british made, though they start to die out aswel now
SAAB/Fairchild SF.340A .....the 340B was purely SAAB after they bought out Fairchilds' share and developed it on their own.
The F.27 was British engines and mostly British equipment which accounts for a high proprtion of the value.
Shorts built fuse sections and the wings for the Fellowship and in fact Shorts built lots of bits for US aircraft from bits of wing to podding engines.
In reality parts of aircraft are made all over the world (767 doors in Australia) but the type is taken to belong to the country of the designers who usually assemble too.
