With a list like that, AirFix is definitely our friend again.
I'm especially looking forward to the Blenheim Mk.IV retool
. The Spitfire should prove interesting as well.

The Do17 is one that I'm looking forward to and the big Typhoon as well.

The Typhoon is a must for me but even though I don't build in 1/72 I really must build the Tiger Moth (I hope that Nige doesn't see this, then I can claim its the old tool one, which he has been badgering me to build since he managed it, so keep this quite )

I keep on finding reasons not to move up to 1/32 scale, and now 1/24 scale jumps back into the game. Of course the price will be rather high, but for what you get. It's very tempting.

Unfortunately the Gnat F1 differs considerably from the T1 that Airfix are releasing- see this plan view on wikipedia
Obviously canopy and cockpit are different in the 2 seated, but also nose shape, wing shape and tail shape. I think the undercarriage was different too.
