Did they forget the Sea Fury and Gannet, certain they had propellers.....

The Gannet wasn't a fighter though Mike. Did any of them have guns or air-to-air rockets?

Sea Fury was armed with guns and rockets. Gannet was armed with torpedoes and depth charges. Both reached a similar conclusion - dead enemy. And the caption on the box declares 'the last propeller....'

"... Fighter", not "warplane".

I suppose these are inspired by games - AM must be confident of their market to tool up for 2 x 1/48 models

I think it comes under the 'What if' stable, a bit like the 'Paper Tigers'....

1/48 Sikorsky S-55

It took until I got to the radial engine before I worked out what model of helicopter it was. And I see it had Netherlands Navy markings straight from the box, surprisingly enough.

1/72 Sd.kfz 8

Armoured Sd.Kfz. 8. The normal ones were soft-skinned.
