What Should Corgi's Next "Heavy" Be?

Eventually , the long awaited Corgi Halifax will arrive, which raises the question----what's the next "heavy" we want Corgi to make in 1:72nd scale? Should it be the Short Sterling or the FW-200 or the B-29 or the HE-177 or, perhaps, a "Mavis" or an "Emily"? Of course, Corgi might opt for a C-54 or a B-47 or a ( gulp! ) B-36 or maybe a Soviet "Bear" or "Bison" or a ----------? Realistically, the first two , named above, seem like the most viable choices from a business standpoint, but we can dream can't we? What "heavy" do you favor as Corgi's next four engined or larger aircraft to replicate?

Re: What Should Corgi's Next "Heavy" Be?

Would love to see a FW-200 or a HE-177 like you said. Also I would like to see a Do-17 or 217, Me-210/410, He-219, AR-196 seaplane, Arado-234 Blitz, Bloh, & Voss BV-138 seaplane, the cool BV-141, Fiesler Fi-156 Storch, FW-189 Uhl, He-115, Hs-126, HS-129, Ju-188, Me-163 Komet. Guess I am living in a dream world.

If it's 1/144th, bring on the Vickers Valiant to round out the V-Bombers. Or a B-47 to complement the B-52s.

Dragon makes a decent B-29 in 1/144 scale. I seen 2 versions so far.

Though it would cost a bundle. a 1/72nd scale B-29. I can think of two off the top of my head.

They do..I have the Enola Gay and Boxscar B-29 they are super....
I think it be cool to see Corgi make a B-29 in 1:72nd.....I know wishful thinking
But a B-47 in 1:144 would be good too.

Are you trying to say that these don't count? Super Fortress Home



I vote for a 1:72 B-29 -- I just got one of Dragon's in 1:144 and it's very cool, but....

Wonder how much it would cost?

Yes am aware of that. I guess I should ask for a 1/72nd instead then, and please make a version that could accomodate a Bell X-1 under it's belly...thank you very much!
