Pictures have been released of the new Corgi 1/72 Stirling four engined bomber.
The Short Stirling was the first British four engined bomber and will complete the Corgi Bomber Command Trio consisting of the Avro Lancaster, Handley Page Halifax and Short Stirling. It's a huge beast and towered above the better known Lancaster.
The Stirling, after being superceded by the Halifax and Lancaster, continued being used in roles like mine laying, spy dropping, electronic countermeasures and glider towing.
Pictures were obtained from an internet forum.
