Re: Best 1:144 Corgi model

I really like my Avro Vulcan, but I have to give the "BUFF" (B-52) the nod as it has much more detail. I have two of them, and they are great.

I also like my VC-137 "Air Force One."

My only B-29 is from Dragon, so I can't judge that, and I also don't have a Sunderland but I have seen it in the past in a store, and it looked quite good. In fact, I regret no buying it. These are hard to find these days.

The best 1:144th corgi is not on your list,IMHO its the Avro Vulcan,it catches the shape and look of the original perfectly.

With you there Sniper! They missed the Vulcan! That said given the options I'd vote for the Sunderland. I only have a few 1/144s mostly Sunderlands (4) along with the Vulcan XH558 and the SAA DC3.

Re: Best 1:144 Corgi model

Even though I voted for the KC-97 with Phantom, I'd have to say my favorites are the C-130's. The best two being the AC-130 Spectre in ghost grey and the KC-130 with the UH-60 in flight just looks cool!

Another model you forgot to include is the E-3B Sentry (AWACS) with the rotating radome. That is actually a nice model on the stand!
