Has anyone seen this in the U.S. yet? If not, does anyone know if it will be released stateside?

I never heard of Corgi producing another 1/32 release. I was under the impression that this line was discontinued. What are your sources?

This is the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight limited edition of 1000.

Saw the pics and read about it on the Skyward Pussycat website last night. Limited to 1000 only. Pretty nice.....

Not sure it's coming to the U.S. actually. I think it and the new BOBMF set are not going to be imported. I will not be getting it if it doesn't. It would be $200+.

You should visit the UK forum. Lots of great information and friendly characters. Go here:

Hawker Hurricane "Night Reaper" Flt Lt K Kuttelwascher - The Diecast Aviation Web Site and Forum

There is a lively discussion of the new model with some pictures and/or links to pictures. It is a beauty!

Apparently the Hurricane wíll hit Dutch shores and the market here is not the largest. Don't know if "logical" is a qualification Corgi deserves, but I would think they'd make the effort to serve the US market too.

I started the thread on the other side of the pond. It has been released and is available in the UK. Probably the best 1/32 Hurri out there! Getting back to Elmers' question, is it available Stateside? I'd prefer to source it in the US.

I shot an e-mail to Richard at OMI, asking if OMI will stock it. His reply: "it is not available from CorgiUSA." I guess that is a "no." Meanwhile, I shot several e-mail to vendors in the UK asking about postage rates. One response was 40 lbs. Ouch! I am guessing that is about 80.00 USD. Time to keep an eye on e-bay.

I got mine on Monday. Retailer hadn't even removed it from the box it arrived from Corgi in

Wow, that's a sweet looking bird and I MUST absolutely have it! Easily the best looking Hurricane scheme since the Sea Hurricane one.
Thanks for the photo, Scottuk!
