| Re: Heavies That The "New" Corgi Should Make I would personally ove to see the HE-177 manufactured in 1/72 scale. There should be a ton of schemes and enough variants that it would fun picking and choicing. | |||||||||||||

| Re: Heavies That The "New" Corgi Should Make The He 177 and the Fw 200 would both make for some good looking four engine/heavie aircraft. Another one I would like to see done would be the Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer. | |||||||||||||

| Re: Heavies That The "New" Corgi Should Make
It still kind of a four engine bomber though. Each nacelle has two 12 cylinder DB 605s (DB 610) mounted side by side with a single gear casing connecting the two crankcases, and the two crankshaft pinions driving a single airscrew shaft. They might have had more success if they had mounted each engine in its own nacelle. | ||||||||||||||

| Re: Heavies That The "New" Corgi Should Make
Sorry CC it was just me having a little fun. I got to see an engine from a 177 while on holiday in Germany (museum near Munich). Beautifully crafted piece of work as you would expect but having 2 engines fixed together in one casting was a serious mistake. As you know it was impossible to cool the durn thing resulting in many engine failures and several fatal crashes due to fire. | ||||||||||||||
