Does anyone have any idea when this will be out.

I'm hoping it's not another EPIC, the brochure says March.

I've was just scanning the net for this and found out there's only 200 going to the States. :eek:

Well that will be 150+ returning in a few months to fill the bins.
I can't help you with the release date I'm afraid.....You getting one? Better start stocking up on batteries then. :D

Personally... I would not worry too much CPW..... I would say Corgi are holding back (I hope) to let the collectors play catch-up on the other releases......

Ive got two ME's (1/32nds) and one Mossie (1/32nd) arriving this w/e hopefully...... Ive spent the past two nights clearing the spare room out and moving the past few months purchases to mum and dads loft space of which they are now saying they are having to increase thier house insurance and make me pay the extra!!!! Oh boy.... Never ending this AA collecting.... ;)

Getting back to the thread... I would say it will be soon.... Third ME just arrived here in the UK....

Err, that's a picture of the Erich Hartmann ME-109 Lev, not the Gerhard Barkhorn one. Barkhorn is the US special with the ground crew. Eagerly awaited by both ascot and myself!

Sorry ascot, I'm blind as a bat. What's different about the canopy on this one?

G6 had a more streamlined canopy with more perspex. Got to say it looks good too.

This German stuff appears to be gaining in popularity! Just picked up an armour Fw 190 to see what they are like (their German Marine F-104 is not bad, just don't like the join lines on the wing drop tanks). :rolleyes:

I even noticed Lev doing a bit of market research into the '109's - wonder if this is a pointer to a 'near-future' :eek: commissioned CHC jobbie? :D :D :D :D

Its alright Lev.... I like the Hartmann one...

CHC commissioned 1/32 109.??. thats lucky....

.. thats more than lucky.....

for lucky... replace with suicidal.... IMHO.. you aint gonna see the retailers commission the 32's..... too much at stake.... and what 32 do you want...??

We just want them to commission a new '109, don't care if it's 1/72 scale.

tee hee, nope i wish, although i am building a 1/32 hurri, and might post some piccies, but dont hold your breath,rebuilding one found at the bottom of a russian lake would be quicker, and i might loose interest if corgi bring out theirs first :rolleyes:
