While I don't build 1/72 scale WW11 fighters, the Heller offering of 4 fighters, two each from Germany and the USA, are from different Theaters of operations, and never shared a common sky. Just seems like a strange offering with no common theme of why they are boxed together.

Of course that has no bearing on the quality of each model.

An odd selection I agree. Perhaps a Mk.IX Spitfire and P-51D would have kept with the European theme set by the 109 and 190. That said I do think the P-40 and Hellcat have the more interesting schemes on offer. Nice to see an FAA and post-war French option with the latter. But whats the plastic like, ex-airfix maybe? If it's old kits, 55 euros is a little steep!
