No Bf110, Do17, or Ju88, but I’ve highlighted the ones I’m looking forward to. So how do you think Corgi have done with their choices?

Wow very interesting, Hawk, Gladiator, Swordfish and Catalina, not bad! I think they’re very good choices, Ju 88 and Do 17 would be nice but hey can’t have everything, maybe they’re releases for next year. I would like it if they released the larger 1/72 aircraft such as the Catalina and Wellington into 1/144 scale for the poor and those with less space.
A Halifax and Stirling would be good as well, personally i’d love a Beaufighter or Auster but i doubt that’ll happen.
The Catalina WAS going to be 1/144th but there was just not enough detail for a diecast model. The 1/72nd version will have folding undercarriage and folding floats. Saw the prototype models last week – SUPERB! RAF Coastal Command PBY-2 with beaching gear and U. S.Navy PBY-5A with tricycle u/c.

My Corgi 1/32 Spit Ia (QV-K) is resigned to her box after several… mishaps which resulted in things coming off! 🙁
yeah, mine mysteriously fell off the stand onto a tiled floor one night.Fixed it though. and carefully bent the wings to give it some dihedral.

Must admit the new Corgi Me 262s look pretty good though.

Don’t think i’ve ever paid full price for a Corgi model, i remember getting my first one, a lovely 1/144 Avro Lancastrian, bought for a tenner!
By: Pilot Officer Prune - 14th October 2005 at 17:27
Corgi have blown it for me a long time ago with their shoddy research into markings and editions which are none too limited.How many people have bought a £90 model only to see it on sale for £50 a year later. For some cracking 1-72 models have a look at Dragon warbirds, only problem is they are too limited.
