Re: How Many Four Engined Biggies Do You Have?

So for you "biggie" collectors: which Corgi four engined biggie is the best? Which is second best? Which twin engine biggie is the best? Second best?

"So for you "biggie" collectors: which Corgi four engined biggie is the best? Which is second best? Which twin engine biggie is the best? Second best?"

They're all good in their own way Elmer. My personal favorite is the 909 B-17(4 engine) but there's arguments for the Sentimental Journey, Strawberry B*tch, Bit a Lace, any of the Lancs.....heck get them all!

I have 9 Biggies:

3 Lancasters
3 B-17's
2 B-24's

Lancs are my favorite but the B-17's are a close second especially BOL.
