Corgi announces Halifaxes in 2007

What kept you Mike? 😀

Any reason why Elvington’s Friday 13th was not selected?

‘Cos it’s not a real Halifax.

A Mk3 Hali wouldnt go amiss in there somewhere..

Most kits look like plastic versions of Corgi models!! :diablo: The reason the pics of the forthcoming Corgi Halifaxes look like plastic kits is because they ARE plastic kits. Corgi had to use Airfix and Matchbox kits just to illustrate their new models, as the toolings haven’t been made yet!

Adrian,

Aha……
Thanks for the info, that’s a relief. Although the 1:72 Lancaster even in metal looks like a metal version of the Airfix one. 😎

Looking forward to see the metal Hally’s then. The majority of the drawings are in the care of the IWM so there is no excuse not to do a good job. :rolleyes:

Cheers

Great news on this release, I have a few Corgi models as I don’t have time to build kits anymore 😮 Some of the detail is outstanding. Especially on the Swordfish and Gladiator models. 🙂

Yes! Great news (at least for me) that Corgi is bringing out three Halifaxes in april 2007. One of these will be W1048, a Mk III and a Mk II Special with Tollerton fairing.

I had heard that Corgi had measured W1048 at Hendon but if I look at the pic of the model it looks like a metal version of the Matchbox plastic kit with the very skinny nose, which looks a bit off.

Wat say you?

Love the Se5a 😀

Wasn’t a member of the forum working with Corgi?

By the way, the SAR Catalina is also a good looking one, as is the JU-52 on floats. 2007 is going to be expensive.

Did you see that 1/72 Wellington op page 2, costing almost 800 P.St. Must be a typo!

I am happy with the Avengers and the S58. Hope they are going to make a Dutch TBM and S58 in the future, aswell as 1 or 2 colourfull TBM borate bombers. On the Halifaxes, I like the one with the covered nose and desert camo.

The pics are from prototypes, they often look odd, and the real models are better. So maybe a nose job has already been done in the production examples.

Still think that they are metal copies of plastic kits
