Great thread, the old brain box is going full steam.
In no particular order, Airfix;
Spit., Hurricane, Meteor, Mossie, Lanc, Whirlwind, Walrus, Bf109, Bf110,
Atomic cannon, etc
I used to really make them carefully and lube the "rotaty" parts with vaseline. My paint jobs were good too.
Dinky;
Vulcan, Meteor, Javelin, and all of the army vehicles (my brother still has those I think).
KeilKraft;
Spit., Luscombe Silvaire, and that really cheap, generic single sided one piece balsa press-out "generic Cessna"... lots of those!!
We had a great model shop in Newcastle, called...The Model Shop, on Blenheim Street?, anyhow it was a 5 minute walk from the bus station.

And I still have my Triang 00 trains and rolling stock.
