Size (isnt everything) .. for Neil

[Agent X20]

Neil attached.. you asked about size...

707 in 1/400 is 4.5 inches long
DC8 in 1/200 is 9 inches long
707 in 1/144 is 13 inches long

The 400ths are lovely but they are just too small and everyones eyesight eventually deteriorates.. although I dont wear glasses I fibnd some of the super detail that the 400ths have impossible to see. They also remind me of the freebies you got out of a Krispies packet..!!

DC8 200th
707 and Connie 400th..

Nice piccies Agent. Connies a work of art in miniature. NeilD see them fine as got Varifocals now. Everything looks bigger than before :D

Or do you live in a mansion with Bl%%dy big door locks, keys about a foot long.

Inflights do look nice, but whole point of corgi 1/144 was so I didn't have to spend this sort of dosh (the tight g!t that I am)

nah I agree with Agent ref the 1/400 being too small... but may have to dip my toe in to the dangerous waters of 1/200 :eek: yes, less IS more!!! :D
hopefully I'll be able to report back on Sat.. ;)

Actually I thought the piccies were carp... have to get a better camera..

Naw.. just the keys to a well hung gate..

For the money the Corgi 1/144's were by far the best and they pretty much had the scale to themselves. (trouble is when they die the scale kinda dies..). I just think they started in the wrong era, hoever romantic the 40's and 50's were, IMHO they would have been far better off starting with a few Boeings from 60's/70/80's....(the subjects that they did do, they should have looked to 1/200th.. they would have had a field day.....) however they have now starved the collector to the point where he has had to look elsewhere for nourishment.. :mad: will he return..?

Agent,

Of course they will as people will want to keep the collection going. I am amazed that companies who make £70 plus 1/200 models seem to survive and Corgi can't sell decent 1/144 subjects for under £70. You are correct, a few more modern types would help refresh the range.

So why nothing for two years..?? :mad: :D
Yep will keep the collection going but it needs feeding..
