I think James May's 1:1 Spitfire Airfix model deserves a spot.

If any of you haven't seen the episode of James May's Toy Stories, you should.

Also, H-4 Hercules "Spruce Goose" , after googling the thing, I realized that the Evergreen Aviation and Spacemuseum must be visited before I die.

The Hercules is the largest flying boat ever built, and has the largest wingspan and height of any aircraft in history. The aircraft made its only flight on November 2, 1947.
