Regarding nugetx's complaint of fighting a Me262 in a Spit I not being fun...

Discovering Tamiya at age 14 or so was a life-changing event for me.

Don't forget Hasegawa. Their P-47 was a magical to me when I first built it back in 2001.

"Iron Eagle Mig"  ?      What RL ac was that?

Here is Bruv flying in the IronEagle movies

(Image removed from quote.)

It was a 2 model kit. An f-16 and Mig 17, i think. Maybe Mig21? The "MIG" in the movie was an Mirage I think? Now I have to watch it again

I believe that was a Kfir.

Now it's true, no one would think match up of the Spitfire MkI against a Me262 would be fun. 

Don't know about fun, but there are 57 recorded kills of the Me 262 by the Spitfire I in the AH MA(s) since tour 1

Interesting.  Curious, how many kills of the Spit I by the 262 over the same period?

Correct. 

IAI Kfir C2.

I actually play the IRON EAGLE soundtrack in the background a lot.   The Basil Poledouris complete score limited edition CD, not the one they released with just the rock stuff.
