p.s. speaking of chrome.......where the heck is the Corgi exclusive???????????

Actually, I have all three of the Corgi B's, and like the OD one best, it's just that I haven't photographed it yet (and at the rate I'm going, I'll probably kick off before I get there!!). (And I wouldn't take a gold one even if they gave it to me with that silver Halifax -- and getting the latter seems as unlikely as getting the first!)

What Corgi exclusive? Me thinks I missed something here...

To me, personality really counts, though shapely and pretty can turn even this old, bald head!

Well, what started me collecting diecast planes was a Corgi Mustang (Roscoe C Brown's Tuskegee bird) so maybe I'm a bit sentimental. I have quite a few Corgis and still like them. They were for me at least my first exposure and were great. Yes, the newer molds are better and I have both Dragons and GAs. I just think that we have to recognise their place in diecast. What did we all buy before Dragon and GA? Maybe the odd Matchbox? Sure I don't like that huge seam on lots of Corgis but these days I'm starting live with the limitations of my models. None are perfect really are they?

Celtic, I stand corrected, I meant the silver Halifax.....and you may be right about never getting it.

Have to admit I like my Corgi P-40s too.

They are quite good------except for the missing pitot heads. FOV and Matchbox included these, why not Corgi?

Okay, I like it, already yet...I just can't help it!
