    Anybody else collect the corgi range of aircraft models??

    They are not cheap but well worth the money.

      Hi,
      I have three of these models and think there excelant but sometimes flimsy.

      I have:

      TWA 707-Very detailed but a bit flimsy
      Lufthansa Vickers Viscount-No problems
      Northewest Orient Stratocruiser-A bit flimsy

      Thanks

        The only part on mine that is flimsy is the propellers.

          count me in!

          I have the 1:144 BOAC 707-336 C registration G-AXGW, one of only 1900 made....problem is, the antennaes on here are very flimsily made, so a little vibration broke it coming back home. Hopefully CORGI will strenghten the future replicas they roll out.

            My Viscount has no antennas so I am lucky because it has been in some...shall we say minor scrapes.

              Other than the antennae chipping off (it still has the big chunk remaining sticking forward of the tail), it is a masterpiece otherwise....

                You are lucky - on the early 707's Corgi had forgotten that antenna totally!

                I have (today) collected the latest BOAC Comet - polished metal lower fuselage and wings - looks stunning

                    I also find they are well worth the money. I have 8 of them. They are

                    2x KC97s
                    2x Viscounts (British Midland and Virgin)
                    1x DC3 (Air Atlantique)
                    1x L1049 (Air India)
                    2x B17s (Memphis Belle and Yankee Doodle)

                    I have been lucky enough to have nothing break on them at all. I have quite a deep shelf to put them on so i put them back as far as possible so as to reduce the accident rate!!!

                    I'm sure you will all agree long may they continue
                    The more I look,
                    The less I see!!!

                        I have a British Midland and BA Viscount plus a comet I think.

                        Got them cheap in Hong Kong..... no numbers on the card

                          I'll have a pic of my Viscount later. I love that plane.
