Taff, you must either have a small collection, a large house, or you do not display too many of your aircraft! | ||||||||||||||

| Many thanks for the welcome Captain regarding the HE111s my mind was delving way back into the mists of antiquity recalling an article in the local newspaper on the loan aircraft. After all these years I could have got muxed ip, I still wonder how they got permission to blow up one of the hangars.....these are now listed buildings. | |||||||||||||

| Re: Corgi 1/32 DEAD after 2006 Hi Captain, I have 13 Corgis plus a load of 21st Century. It is all on display but the only place I am allowed to put my stuff is in the family room in the basement. Taff

| Re: Corgi 1/32 DEAD after 2006 So Corgi's bowing out of 1/32. This is good news for those of us who bought several. Right now, I have Hartmann's BF-109, the PR-F Spit, Douglas Bader's DB, Old Crow, Big Beautiful Doll, Bader's Hurricane, the Indomitable Sea Hurricane, and the Wright Brothers Flyer. All these machines make up a nice selection of airplanes, and when you add them to GMP's 1/35 selection, make up a great display. I think that Corgi's focusing on its root collection, that and the fact that these 1/32 machines are so large, and have so many features does likely make this line less profitable than their 1/72 and 1/144 line. I also have numerous 1/32 kits from the prewar era too, which I plan on making a display to showcase the golden age of aviation. So from here on out, I'll be waiting to see when GMP will release in the future. Hopefully their Corsair will come out soon...and someday a Hellcat to complete my selection of the best airplanes of all time. Skysurfer808 | |||||||||||||

| Re: Corgi 1/32 DEAD after 2006 I have just managed to buy the Barkhorn Me109 in 1/32nd scale to complete the collection of 5 Me109s. I have been very lucky and have not paid more than £29.00 for the most expensive one and £17.00 for the cheapest. (RED 6 which IMHO is brilliant). The problem is that I love this scale and want to add at least one Spit and Hurricane and of course a Mustang. The prices of these are too rich for me at the moment (except the Mustangs) BUT should I bite the bullet and pay the money in the belief that they will go up in price OR should I hold off a while and hope they fall in price?? Decisions decisions. What do you chaps think?? ![]() | |||||||||||||

| Careful now! There is a school of thought that the prices of some, like the Spit, will not come down. They are even scarce on E-bay. For the P51s & 109s prices are probably as low as they'll go and start climbing. Hurris, not much loved need to come down. Mossies, great, but huge. Grab one if you can! Postage may be a challenge. ![]() | |||||||||||||
