The UK forum now has artists renditions of Corgi's JU-88, BF-110 and Typhoon for 2008 posted. The last two look very appealing, however the JU-88 features an obscure late war polka dot mottling over the two-green splinter topside scheme which is a far cry from the BOB motif many of us have been hoping for. Hope springs eternal, so maybe they are just teasing us and will include a BOB version anyway.

The the Me-110 and Ju-88 looked kinda boring schemes to me, but I do like the Typhoon w/bubbletop canopy and the Blenheim. Thanks for the heads up.

Absolutely. I'm with you, Shawn. A long time coming....

A Bristol Blenheim?

Its about time.

To my knowledge there has never been a Corgi Archive Blenheim before.

Did you know that you can see the world's only flying Blenheim at Duxford Imperial War Museum near Cambridge?

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............................. ........no you can't.
It crashed a few years ago and is currently being rebuild with the short MkI nose.
Hopefully, even in it's new guise, we'll see this bird fly again in a few more years.
And Duxford is near CAMBRIDGE not Oxford.
Light blues NOT dark blues!

Please tell me the 1:72 Gooney Bird rumours are true I feel like I've been holding out forever I'll certainly get a D-Day C-47 and an AC-47 gunship and who knows what else might catch my eye. I'm also hoping for a more desirable Ju-52 for next year

[Wespen109]

Did it? well thats one of Duxford's only claims to fame down the toilet. I don't like the Mk 1 nose as much. it makes it look more like a JU-88

I hope they still have their 'No Guts No Glory' thunderbolt

[djjeffhall]

I guess the question I would ask is this. If Corgi and Hobby Master are both coming out with an ME-110 next year, whose will be better and whose will we all chase down?

The 1:72 Dakota would be nice, but do we really think they are going to delvelope a new mould when they already have a 1:144 mould to ride?

Sorry but The Fighter Collection sold this P-47 recently and it's now flying here in the US in Pennsylvania with Tom Duffy. It was just at the Thunder Over Michigan airshow two weeks ago.
