I would agree with all except this. My reason is because 'set' can be used
to refer to the entire package, where 'model' would refer to individual
items within a set. ie. Terminal, Airplane, Helicopter, and Service
Vehicle for an airport set. We could call the overall thing S and the
submodels M, but that would be very confusing and break the models up in
the directories. That would not work out well. Still, it is a Lego set, a
model is generally agreed upon to be a component of a set.
As I wrote you, if you're going to name submodels a, b, c...etc. let the
letter have significance. a should be the first submodel appearing in the
instruction booklet, b the second...etc...
