Regtheveg posted pics of the new 1/72 scale Corgi AA33714 Heinkel He 111P, Oslo, Certificated Limited Edition of 1000 pieces on MHIII.
Another good choice by Corgi, ours went in literally 5 minutes although only a measly amount of stock was received, late again due to an administration error with the new Hornby computer system. 
It's a fairly old tooling, so has it's faults, 10 years and counting, but it's nicely finished, very heavy, and has some of the detail that Corgi like to make a song and dance about usually, but they just slipped this one out without fanfare.
Some customers wailed about it not being a BOB release, but most buyers won't give twopence.
Under bright light there is a noticeable colour mismatch from front to main body, and other plastic parts, but it's not so apparent to the MK1 eyeball in normal light, it's a dark aircraft all over.
I'd say buy it if you want it and get a chance, as it looks to be sold out (unless some left stashed in China) - we've got none left, so it's neither here nor there to me, but if anyone is stupid enough to do them cheap enough, I'd pick them up myself for the retirement fund.
