Darken the Sky with Planes (1/300 Battle of Britain)

This is just a crazy deal from the Plastic Soldier Company: 118 Planes for £5 (+P&P of 50p)

I was tempted to get two (or more) but I reigned myself in (and partially regretting it already). The massive bundle arrived (see below, more planes than you can throw Ack Ack at): 


The Luftwaffe (see below, [5 packs of] 2 x Me109, 2 x Me110, 2 x Ju88, 2 x Do17, 2 x Heinkel 111, which means 50 planes): 


The RAF (see below, [5 packs of] 6 x Spitfire, 6 x Hurricanes, which means 60 planes):


These are the "odd balls" that finally sold it to me (see below, [2 packs of] Gloster Gladiator, Bristol Blenheim, Stuka, Boulton Paul Defiant, which means another 8 planes): 


Fantastic - now I just have to figure out what to do with them!

Bargain!

Those would be great for the Bag the Hun campaign supplement, Finest Hour.

56% British forces seems like it is not quite the right ratio, but at that price you could just bin the extras!

How would you rate the quality?

Lasgunpacker:
They are "better than" Risk but not as good as metal.
Good for play markers on board games, can be painted but "mass" effect ;)
