Corgi Diecast Military Aircraft

Corgi, the leading name in diecast military aircraft and one of Britain's best known brands, has been producing models for over 40 years. Corgi's famous model vehicles captured the imagination of millions of baby boomers and, what were once simply toys for boys, are highly sought-after in the expanding collectibles market.

Corgi Files an Early Flight Plan for its 2011 Collection
We thought Corgi would wait until the upcoming iHobby Expo to announce the bulk of their 2011 aircraft introductions but apparently they've moved up the calandar. Late last week, the British-based modelmaker posted their new lineup on their web site, complete with imagery and product descriptions. Broad and deep, we hope to have the entire range added to our site by the early part of this week. However, we thought you might like to know that amongst the new introductions is this massive 1:32 scale De Havilland Mosquito, which participated in the raid on Amiens prison in February 1944. ......[posted 8/8/2010]

Corgi Adds Some US Muscle to its 2010 Air Force
As promised earlier, Corgi has announced their US additions to their 2010 Aviation Archive lineup. Several aircraft of note are to be minted, including a 1:72 scale representation of the "Memphis Belle", the first B-17F to complete its 25-miision tour of duty during WWII. Also in the works is a USN SH-60 Ocean Hawk helicopter, a 1:144 scale AC-130 Spooky gunship, a 1:48 scale Spad flown by WWI ace Frank Luke, Jr., and a 1:32 scale replica of German ace Hermann Graf's Messerschmitt Bf-109G fighter. Lots of bold new introductions that cut across multiple scales, areas of interests and eras.....[posted 2/26/2010]

Corgi Touts Their Mid-Year Lineup
In an effort to stay one step ahead of the competition, UK-based Corgi revealed details concerning their mid-year military aircraft lineup. Loads of repaints are in the offing, along with several new toolings, including their first ever 1:72 scale rendition of the Westland Whirlwind medium lift helicopter. The new mix will also include a 1:32 scale model of an early war Supermarine Spitfire and a 1:72 scale take on the Boulton Paul Defiant night fighter. We fully expect some additional US-skewed aircraft to join the fray, but we thought you might want to get a gander at those aircraft we do know about. Images for all of the latest introductions have now been posted.....[posted 1/7/2010]

January Looks Especially Promising for Corgi
Its been awhile since we've received any newly tooled aircraft from the house of Corgi , so January is shaping up to become an important month for this stalwart model maker. For openers, we've just taken delivery on their eagerly awaited BAC TSR-2 strike aircraft, a product of the Cold War that was designed to take on the best the Soviet Air Force could throw at us. On the repaint stage, we're ogling an all-new Hawker T7 Hunter fighter along with a sharp-looking SH-3 Sea King clad in a Royal Navy blue Search and Rescue operational scheme.

Further down the road, Corgi has confirmed the imminent release of their German Dornier Do-17 light bomber, a WWII-era twin-engine level bomber which was designed, at least in theory, to outrun any defending single-engine fighters set upon them by the enemy. Other aircraft are slated for a January/February release, including a pair of Westand Lynx attack helicopters, Hermann Goring's WWI vintage D VII fighter, and a Luftwaffe Dornier Do-215 schnellbomber.....[posted 1/1/2010]


Corgi Debuts Their First Half 2010 Aviation Archives Range
Looking to build upon their successful 2009 lineup, Corgi drew back the curtains on their first half 2010 Aviation Archive range. While there were no new toolings unveiled, several aircraft looked especially appealing, such as this two piece set containing a Mark XIV Spitfire and German V-1 "Doodlebug" flying bomb. Also of note was a new B-17F Flying Fortress heavy bomber in US markings and a Blackburn Buccaneer strike aircraft in an earth tone camouflage pattern. You can find the complete list of new military aircraft in our Corgi First Half 2010 Introductions subcategory found within the Corgi aircraft section....[posted 10/22/2009]

The Hawker Hurricane was the first monoplane to join the Royal Air Force as a fighter aircraft, capable of reaching speeds in excess of 300-mph in level flight. Often compared with the sleek-looking Supermarine Spitfire, the Hurricane, in actuality, shouldered the brunt of the fighting during the "Battle of Britain", equipping more than three-fifths of the RAF's Fighter Command squadrons.

The Fokker D.VII was a German World War I fighter aircraft designed by Reinhold Platz of the Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. Germany produced around 1,700 D.VII aircraft in the summer and autumn of 1918. In service, the D.VII quickly proved itself superior to existing Allied fighters, leading to a second "Fokker Scourge."
