Corgi Catalogue January to June 2014 - Aviation Archive

Corgi has released their January to June 2014 catalogue and it's been received with mixed views. The much anticipated new WWII twin mold has not materialised but there are new toolings in the form of a 1/72 scale Hawker Fury and Avro Vulcan (seen in the previous catalogue). 

WWI sees a Fokker DR.1 while the Inter War years receive good coverage with a Gladiator, Demon and the Fury. WWII and D-Day in particular sees a C-47 Skytrain, RAF B-25 Mitchell and a 1/32 scale RAAF Mosquito. 

These are accompanied by an 8th Air Force B-24 Liberator, Spitfire Mk.II, Hurricane IIc SEAC, cannon armed Bf-109G and the Arthur Scarf Blenheim from the previous catalogue.

Post War we see the IWM Duxford T11 Vampire, 1/144 scale Valiant and 1/72 scale Vulcan. There are also two helicopters, a Gulf War Puma and Royal Navy SAR Sea King HU.5.
