Nice pics it does look like a job well done but you couldn't give me a desert scheme unless it's the strawberry bitch.... Anyone seen AA36702 emerge anywhere??

I hope Corgi fixes this the huge guns are a turn off.

Assuming that is Corgi's marketing approach, I fail to see what is "shifty" about it. They are a business, and as such their aim will be to sell as many of the models they produce as possible, as perhaps make a profit in the process.

It's up to us as consumers of their products, to decide whether or not we spend our hard-earned cash!

Looks like the pilots that Corgi put in there are the same that is on the dvd movie case "Major League", a baseball in sunglasses with a mohawk haircut. Guess someone at Corgi liked the movie.

I agree what our Friends on the UK forum are saying about the desert schemes....I've been trying to get rid of a couple desert planes and it seems like I can't give them away...

If you want to give them away, send them in my direction;-) I've got a large collection of planes in desert schemes. They may not be particularly popular amongst collectors, but I like 'em. (The MTO may not have been as glamorous as the BoB, but for me it was a fascinating part of the war.)

I mostly collect desert schemes.

[Ted in DC]

It's not my first choice, but I'll take the desert scheme anyway. I agree that the gun barrels look a little too large, but that won't stop me either - in 1:72 with the naked eye they shouldn't look too bad. It will be great to display the Ju-88 next to my He-111. I don't have enough storage space for any 4-engine bombers, so confine myself to 2 engines or fewer (though the wingspan of the Catalina will really be pushing it!).

It is to match the HE-111 and the FW-190 from Corgi. Sad..as I have both and also this JU-88 on pre-order.
