Don't know if this is old news or not but the corgi mosquito is out. Saw a pic of it at BCA. Comes with extras like ground crew, bomb, stand etc. I think it's an excellent value at the $117 it's listed for. Looks like a beauty.

You'll probably get to buy it in pieces, and assemble it at the hanger..aferguson wrote:well...if you think it's huge in 1/32 just wait until a 1/18 Mosquito comes out. Which i know will happen..

Corgi 1:32 Mosquito
Hi,
I'm staring at the size of the Corgi 1:32 scale Mosquito and I shudder to think what a 1:18 scale replica would look like. I still think its kind of ironic that they made a diecast replica of a wooden plane. In any event, the inaugural Mosquito is quite breathtaking and even comes with ground crew, a bomb trolley and a cookie bomb for added impact! It's quite the item if you're looking to have the ultimate in diecast aircraft...
Incidentally, Franklin Mint/ Armour Collection just informed us that they will be announcing their 2005 lineup at the end of November and the catalogues should be ready to go in December.

Blue Box F-18
Hi,
Yeah, I remember seeing the Blue Box F/A-18 at last year's Toy Fair. They had it set up on a stylized aircraft carrier for dramatic effect and a load of their other over-sized aircraft nearby. Man, was that sucker big! The price seemed right too. Only trouble is, we don't do plastic...at least not yet.

Upgunned Variants of Mosquito
Hi,
I agree with AFerguson. Typically, companies will release the basic stripped down version of a replica first then sweeten the pot by offering more elaborate variants down the road.
We also spoke to Corgi awhile back. While there aren't many newly tooled planes in their first half 2005 product portfolio, they did say that they had quite a number of new aircraft types lined up for the second half.
Should be fun!

That's amazing!!! It certainly dwarfs the Liberator. Nice job on the ground crew/equipment.-

This is the next Mossie to come out in 1/32.. (courtesy of onmarkint.com)aferguson wrote:i'm sure you'll see a gun nose variant in time. As it would be the more popular of the two, they would release it second.
