I also agree about concealed interior detail. Adds cost to a kit as well. Given I like to build my kits desktop style with painted canopies it means I don't even use the basic tub and stick cockpits let alone everything else they might provide. So my as yet unbuilt Airfix and Matchbox Wellingtons are fine by me. Likewise I didn't bother upgrading my Stirling and Sunderland either when Italeri released them. Nice to know the huge stash is saving me a fortune anyway. Not to say the newer kits don't look good, they just don't entice me enough to replace what I already have.

I also agree on preferring different weapons loads etc over some of the internal details. I passed up on the He-111 because it didn't even have bombs.
