Re: Best 1:72 WWII Corgi Fighter

Best prop one is Gloster Gladiator followed by Corsair. For some reason, Corgi jets fighters are better executed in my opinion, with Tornado taking the top honors.

Re: Best 1:72 WWII Corgi Fighter

My vote is for the Swordfish, but also because you don't have the Stuka listed which is one of, if not the best mold Corgi has..

I would say the Swordfish takes the cake over the Gladiator, imho. The Tornado is also my favorite - I have 4 of these myself!

Re: Best 1:72 WWII Corgi Fighter

I voted for the Swordfish (tho didn't know it was a fighter!), however, what I REALLY wanted to vote for was not there...the P 51!

Re: Best 1:72 WWII Corgi Fighter

I voted for the Swordfish, as many others probably will, however a number of non fighter planes are included in the list and , as has been pointed out, the Stuka, which I don't happen to like, is left out. Perhaps a clarification is in order. Are we talking about single engine fighter planes in this poll or does the list include attack aircraft?

Look for it to appear prominently in the upcoming "Worst 1:72 WWII Corgi Fighter" poll...

Re: Best 1:72 WWII Corgi Fighter

I voted for the Corsair. The Swordfish is nice but isn't exactly a fighter.

Re: Best 1:72 WWII Corgi Fighter

I may be the only one who voted for the Fw-190, but FM's White 11 is one of there best IMHO.

Question Re: Best 1:72 WWII Corgi Fighter

I voted for the Gladiator. The Swordfish and SBD are not fighters so is this poll for all 1/72 WWII?
