Just recently there has been plenty of activity from Corgi with some great new releases. We have the Westland Lysander "Spy Taxi", the first rocket armed Swordfish, a clipped wing Royal Navy Corsair, the Spitfire Mk. XIV with Doodlebug and a two seat Messerschmitt Me. 262.
The Swordfish and Lysander are both highly acclaimed Corgi models and with the addition of armour piercing rockets the Swordfish just got better! The Corsair is the first one modified to have the clipped RN wing, required to allow it to fit on the smaller RN carriers. The colours are accurate and this model is being very well received.
The Mk. XIV Spitfire along with PR. versions are now coming fast and furious. This is the 3rd release with the Buzz Bomb. The Buzz Bomb could have been a lot better and is plastic, not well detailed. The Spitfire is one of the new Corgi CAD designs and is much better because of it. Lastly we have the Me 262. This is a trainer and follows on from the two seat night fighter.
Other new models include both a single seat No.74 Hunter and two new two seaters. Some new Harriers and Sea Harriers are also due out soon. Lastly there have been a few Tornados released over the last few months with the most recent being the RAF one in winter camo operating in Norway, very nice.
