I spent around an hour with Corgi at RIAT, a bit of information to pass on and I have the Tiger Meet Puma and 1st production Black Cats Lynx home with me so full pics and comments on them later.

Pics first




This is the full resin pre-pro of the Vulcan and it looks very good, it will have full bomb bay detail and load, this was shown to me during packing up but at that stage iI didn't have my camera with me, believe me when I say this will be the best detailed Corgi model yet.



This is the production model ,mottling is superb .

Spitfires

109s

As a none Lufty expert these look very good and the casting is fantastic.

Oh look as this an early aircraft it has the correct antenna that were removed correctly on the previous later ones .:p It will also have Sidewinders.

The colours on this will be matched to the Ruptured Duck.

Other info markings from now on will be matched to the Pantone refs used by Airfix on their decals. Colours WW2 brown/green will match those used on the Dambuster Lanc from now on.

Two new toolings under development along with tooling mods on others.

Production in China is improving both in timings and quality. Martyn now knows what colour to paint the 5000 Minis awaiting painting in China;)
