Wayne,
I believe you are correct about the illustrator. They are so eager to slap something together, so they are rushing and disregarding the research aspect needed to be accurate.

I go with Sprue Brothers, Squadron, Plane Detective, MegaHobby. Airfix has a North American distribution location in Seattle that's pretty fast too.
I visited Trump Hobbies a few times as my daughter was going to OSU. After few a visits spread over a couple of years I came to think that what models they carried had been there for a very long time and very little, if any, restock ever occurred.
I did get a great deal on the 1/48 Airfix TSR 2 though.
Eugene Toy and Hobby had a pretty good selection at one time. Not sure now?

Even I use Sprue Brothers from time to time and I live a very long way away, they have a good online site.

Some odds and ends. It's a shame the C5M2 is as old as my MIL. I ended up getting the Kawanishi N1K1 because the seller threw in the IJNAF Hinomaru Collection for one price.

So I broke my 3 year hiatus and purchased this for a future GB
I did want to do one of the aircraft from the 1949 Arab/Israel Conflict, 208 Squadron RAF Fayid, Egypt, with the odd camouflage but it seems they were all photo/recon birds. If I can't find anything I'll do the Indian markings to be different. I downloaded the 208 Squadron ORB for the relevant time frame and saw something weird. We always wish that the ORBs would contain codes as well as serial numbers but in this one they only contain aircraft codes, no serial numbers

OK. It looks like I can make an FR.XVIII from this kit. There are two clear parts that represent camera windows and the FR.XVIII used only one, on either side according to the sadly missed Edgar Brooks. I have decals for the "J" and print off underwing serials or I can mask off for white "T" or "F" and make underwing serials
