Default RE: Avoiding "ME TOO" models

I can't help but model "me,too" planes. I mean, they ARE the popular models, a lot of people like them, so there are more kits, plans, etc available. I just try to find a little known feature or variant of a particular plane and include it in the details. It may not make the plane fly any better, indeed, it may be something that took a lot of time to make and only be something that's likely to get torn off. I found documentation on L-4's that were equipped with bazookas in WWII, and they aren't usually thought of as "tank buster" airplanes. But I thought it would be a great way to accurately portray a well-known, and modelled-to-death airplane in a less well-known version. I am going to do the same thing on my upcoming Birddog project.
