After the successful release of the BoB Doe Spitfire, and the Herman Graf Red Tulip Bf109G-6, which is still available in retail outlets, Corgi followed with the announcement of two new releases.
First is the DeHavilland Mosquito FBVI – HX922, EG-F, RAF 487 Sqn, Grp Capt P.C. Pickard, Amiens Raid, February 1944. The forth of the 1/32 Mosquitos, this model is sold out at Corgi and retailers have already stopped taking pre-orders in the UK.
This long retired mold seems to have been converted from the standard bomber/reconnaisance version to the fighter bomber version. This required modifications to the Cockpit frame, access hatch, armament and more. We have taken one pre-order for the Mosquito.
The other model is Messerschmitt 109G-2, Black 6, RAF Museum Hendon. This model should prove very popular in the UK where it spent years on the air show circuit before crashing and being restored to display status.
