New Corgi brochure out

justin · 05-02-2003, 02:01 PM

My local shop just gave me the new Corgi brochure and it's full of great stuff (as usual!), for me stand out models I'll certainly buy are;
-RAF Chinook, this is the sole survivor of the Atlantic Conveyor loss in 1982 which achieved miracles in the Falklands, Boeing should have made good use of the stuff that bird did in 1982 when trying to sell Chinook's
-the RAF pathfinder set of Lancaster and Mosquito, this will be an expensive set, but it is nice, however I also really want the RAF Coastal Command B17 and will choose between these two and stick with one choice, there has to be a limit somewhere

-Canadian rescue Lancaster, a superb livery on the lanc.
-USAAF Mosquito, the Corgi Mosquito is superb and I collect all of them, I love Mosquito's!
-1/32 P51D "Old Crow", if this is anything like the Spitfire in terms of quality it'll be an absolute "must have" model
-Fw190A of Nowotny
-RAF Bucaneer Desert Storm markings
No doubt more will join these choices as I see them in the shop

Interestingly the Lancaster has been modified with no dorsal turret and a faired over nose turret, now if they just modify the bomb bay we could have a 617 sqdn. B1 special armed with the 22,000lb. grand slam, wouldn't that be nice?

I forgot the 1/32 Wright Flyer, how could I forget that bird?!!

Good list Justin.
I will definitely be getting that Chinook, will go nicely with the Faulklands Seaking.
The "Bud" Anderson P-51D is also a must have, this scale is outstanding.
I will have to see the RCAF Lanc, I love these colours on this bird but I'm not a fan of the 1:144 Lanc, I will give it a chance however.
I heard that a 617 Lanc was in the list as well, I was hoping that it sported the "Upkeep" aparatus or failing that a tallboy or Grand Slam. I doubt that I will get the Pathfinder two pack as the Lanc is not much different than the POS that I already have, I passed on the Mynarski Lanc for the same reason, not enough space for redundancy. Maybe I can find someone who wants the Lanc but not the Mossie.
The USAAF Mossie is a must.
By the time it comes out I will already have two Bucaneers so that will be a pass as well.
Needless to say that this will be an expensive year Corgiwise.

Hi Ozz, you don't know how expensive, that Canadian Lanc is 1/72!!

The RCAF SAR Lanc is 1:72???????

If it is, I'll be rethinking my game plan!
