RE: Corgi Models
I don’t have a problem with their models, these are great.
I just had the misfortune to purchase a model from their website (not recommended).
6 weeks and two failed deliveries later…
They did refund my money but I would rather have the model.
I recommend you purchase via a shop and not via Corgi mail order or web.

RE: Corgi Models
They do a B17 in Sally B colours (her old ones and new ones).
I am a Sally B member and purchased them via the club, I have seen them for sale from the Sally B tent at shows.
Why not contact Sally B club.
