NEW Corgi Aviation 1:72 Diecast Germany Fighter FW190 - eBay (item 150262026435 end time Jun-24-08 13:55:08 PDT)

What the is this? Is the Schiphol butcher bird out or is this some kind of scam?

Looks like a Dragon model on a Corgi stand. Whats the deal? A hybrid?

Seller is out of HongKong.. Interesting.......
Maybe these were in production when they were cancelled and a piece or two got out?

No, thats a Corgi all the way.

I'm betting a scam or a repaint. If it is a repaint, looks good to me. Here's an old preproduction photo of the cancelled Checkerboard, compare the two. I'm curious as to why the gear is only shown as down.

I wrote the seller and am asking the DAF team now so we'll soon know I think. I agree, it is Corgi something. The Canopy and UC give it away right off.

Wait until Cardinal sees that !!!

It looks OK to me, close up photos seem to show that its good.

What do I know,
Cardo where are you.

Looks like a factory leak model, maybe a slight second,I have picked up a couple of models from similar dealers and the model has reached the UK dealers a month or so later.

Hmm, does that make it an investment I wonder?

In looking at other items this seller has, there are a number of Corgi Showcase models and, in each case. the listing states the original box is not included, but this auction does not mention the box is not included. Is it typical for the model to include packaging when it slips out of the factory?

In any case, we seem to have helped the bidding.
