Corgi new release 1/32 Spitfire.
Just announced from Corgi.
They will be releasing a NEW 1/32 scale Spitfire,in the second half of 2010.
Great news!
And I am glad to see Corgi release any new 1/32.
Hopefully they will do other 1/32 as well.

Yep, this sounds about right.. The Corgi stuff is pricey, but you also get what you pay for.ketelone wrote:You've got to figure at least $100, which would be a great price. More than likely $139 retail at the cheapest....

Why can't we get a Griffin engined V-1 interceptor with the 5-bladed prop and clipped wings? Everyone and their brother makes the same few Spitfire marks. Why not go insane and do a Seafire or a post-war version with the cut down rear fuselage and bubble canopy. The Battle of Britain is extremely important but there are literally pages of interesting Spitfire marks begging to be done.hworth18 wrote:What were you expecting?Rowsdower wrote:
How about a compromise and do an IX, I know FOV did one, but do it right with no giant rivits and Corgi quality.

I don't think we will see any brand new tooling in 1/32 from Corgi, but a Mk XIV would be cool. I already have 3 XIVs in 1/48 and if I were offered one in 1/32, I would sell those.Rowsdower wrote:Why can't we get a Griffin engined V-1 interceptor with the 5-bladed prop and clipped wings?

You're probably right on the tooling. I guess a guy can dream. I would be all over a Mk XIV in 1:32, it is just such a beautiful and badass looking aircraft.hworth18 wrote:I don't think we will see any brand new tooling in 1/32 from Corgi, but a Mk XIV would be cool.

Saw pictures of the "Doe" Spitfire,but am unable to post.
It is a sweet looking bird.
And is going to be fairly limited.
Corgi looks to have done a great job on this one.
I don't think it is a new mold,but it still is a new 1/32 release from Corgi,and a Spitfire!
I would also love a Griffon engined,clipped wing Spit,but am happy with any 1/32 new release from Corgi.

Supposedly list price of 85 Pounds.So not cheap!.
But it apparently will have a very limited run.
Hopefully it will not be a UK only release.
The shipping from Britain is ridiculously expensive.Over $100.
If North American retailers don't get some of these,this is going to be an expensive model to aquire.
Lots of frustrated "international" collectors[non UK],if this is a Britain only release.
It would be a big mistake from Corgi to "snub" their international collectors,again.
Many of these international collectors order from US companies,as the shipping is very reasonable.
Ordering from Britain is a last resort,and will cause many of them not to order.
Isn't the idea to sell the models to collectors,as quickly as possible?
How hard is it for Corgi to allocate 25% or more of their stock to large US based retailers.
They still get paid for the models,and keep their non UK fans happy.
Unless it is a commission by a UK based retailer,but there is no indication of this.
