Anyone have a Corgi 1:32nd scale P-51D Mustang model? I am thinking of getting one, and they are getting harder to find. They look nice, just would like some opinions on these models.

yea, after a flood a while back on ebay(the good ol' ebay, not modern basturdbay)..all the corgi big bird(and the 1/48 bomber/junkers) are drying up or going for more and more money.

makes you hate hindsight..just like with 1/18 warbirds.

I have a couple of Corg 1/32 Old Crow Mustangs and they are the best in this scale. The only real negative is that they don't have much of the small stenciling, but you can't beat them at this scale.

And in my opinion, they are even better than GMP's 1/35 version.

I have only one 1/32 corgi Mustang - Big Beautiful Doll. Awesome looking. They have the tires just the right size and thickness. The landing gear sits correctly and all flight surfaces move well. Not sure if the other Corgi 32 scale P-51's have this oddity, but on BBB's ailerons and elevators there is no silver/aluminum paint. Just bare plastic. Never understood why. I don't know if they were trying to go for a "different metal shade" look or what. I don't like it. I'm going to try and match the paint and paint what I think it should look like.

Hworth18, does your Old Crow have this issue?
