I totally agree. Fibreglass replicas are a great way for the public to still see these aircraft, and they'll last a lot longer than the real thing. Most won't know they aren't looking at the real thing. Although, making a fibreglass model of a Lancaster could be quite the task. I guess someone needs to make a movie that requires lots of them, and then they'll get sold off afterwards, just like the models from the BoB movie.
