Oh Joy, Oh Rapture. Two of Carousel 1 finest: Baracca’s Nieuport 11 and Voss’ Fokker Dr.1 arrived today. They are in a word: Exquisite. In two words they are also: Very pricey. With price in mind, two Corgis, the Gloster Gladiator and the Farey Swordfish were removed from their showcases and compared to the Carousel 1 issues. The Carousel 1s totaled in at $139.98; the Corgis totaled $39.98; i.e., 42% of their biplane counterparts. And, if you own either of the Corgis, you know they are both very well rendered and are perhaps Corgis best efforts. The Carousel 1s are excellent, but are they worth the price differential? I think so, but you’d better consider yourself a connoisseur to take that position.

I have two Corgi 1:48s on order: the Biddle Spad XIII and the Bishop S.E. 5A, but they won’t show until mid-February. They’ll come in at 57% of the Carousel 1s; another large delta in cost. Sorry, no pictures of the Nieuport 11 or the Fokker Dr.1. Too much to handle at this time of the year. [Carousel 1 has some excellent shots-mine wouldn’t add much.] However, come February I’ll trouble you with my comments on the three issues mentioned above.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
