German Fantasy

[minter]

If you worked for corgi and had the final say over a new German tooling ,only one mind which would it be, personally i think i would like a Me 110 BoB version

[IWM2]

110 Nightfighter....

[plumstix]

Definitely an Me262.

[Aces-High]

If you worked for corgi and had the final say over a new German tooling ,only one mind which would it be, personally i think i would like a Me 110 BoB version

Me 110...........end of.

[Agent Carr]

Would go for BoB 110 but only as long as I could get a BoB Wick Me109.

[FROGGY]

Bf 110 or Ju 88 nightfighter !

[PierreMarch]

A Me-262... any German fighter would be welcome anyway.

[Red Leader]

I agree with you guys about the 110. It's the obvious choice. It fought in battle of Britain and then went on to perform many other functions including a very successful night fighter. Loads of variations possible. Looks great too. There's a great one with complicated radar equipment on nose in RAF museum at Hendon. That would make a superb model.!!!

[Brad]

110 or Ju 88 please!

[Red Leader]

Ok I'll give you the Ju88 too! That was probably the German's most successful and versatile twin engined plane throughout the whole war! It definately deserves recognition.

[Hoverbug]

I'd like a Ju 88 please. A mistel combo set would be pretty cool.

[Typhoon-MKV]

I'm greedy I want ME110; Ju88 and ME262 - Pllleeeaaaseee........

[CFBC]

Any of those German versions would be nice.... ME262 especially........ Corgi now need to play "catch-up" after Dragon on the ME's........

[minter]

yes CFBC,although i would like a 110 first any new german tooling is welcome and would be a sure fire seller,as long as its not sandy cloured,still a bit a mileage left in the 190 ie home defence type. I wonder if chc are delving into a german diecast :rolleyes:

[Lofty]

Any Kraut plane welcome-always had better camo :D
262, 88, 110 bring 'em on

[Martin Bull]

Schnaufer bf110G-4.

Please ? :cool:

[minter]

Any Kraut plane welcome-always had better camo :D
262, 88, 110 bring 'em on

better camo,this is true,look at the racecourse hurricane,not pretty!

[Lofty]

Looks like the cat vomited eh Mr Minter? :eek:

[minter]

yeah or a kids paintd it with poster paints :D

[CFBC]

Or I dropped it on the floor while out dog walking!!! (say no more).....

Anyway - More German planes with VERY NICE CAMO'S........ PLEASE WHOEVER!!

[The Defiant Man]

I'm greedy I want ME110; Ju88 and ME262 - Pllleeeaaaseee........

With you on this one (three) Stealth :) Impossible to choose so have to have all of them!

[minter]

lovely i can think of 3 or 4 great versions of each,sure to sell, time to ditch the p-47, p-51,and the hurri cos they aint selling!

[raff]

Me 110 for first sure, both as a collector and if I was wearing a Corgi hat! High profile, major B of B player... lots of variants and other schemes to go for. [I can hear the chorus for a NF version even now!]

If they do as good a job on the canopy as they did with the Stuka I'll be a very happy anorak! :p

raff

[minter]

agree, i like the Austrian Stuka very much,canopys great so they have the ability to do a good job on a long canopy like the 110s

[no4mkit]

In order,

Ju88
Bf110
Me262

The possibilities for the Ju88 are most attractive. Imagine the night fighter with some nice photoetched radar antenna bristling from the nose.

Corgi, there's a gold mine for you in that casting!

And think of the box set possibilities;

-Lancaster & Ju88 night fighter
-Ju88 night bomber vs Mosquito NF

:cool:

[Horrido!]

Fiesler Storch - if that is too difficult for them a Ju88.

Horrido!

[plumstix]

A nice 1:72 Ju-52, that'll do for me.

[Horrido!]

Good choice plumstix - I hadn't thout of an Auntie.

Horrido!

[plumstix]

Or alternatively what was the big four engined bomber called? Focke something wasn't it? That would complement the Lancs etc nicely.

[Red Leader]

It was the Focke Wulf Condor that 4 engined bomber. It was used ver effectively in Atlantic on anti shipping activites. Yes thats a great suggestion cause all the 4 engined bombers are allied so far!!

[plumstix]

That's the one, cheers Red Leader.

[Horrido!]

Don't you mean the Heinkel He177 "Grief" (with or without coupled engines) - The Condor was a Maritime Patrol Aircraft converted from a civil transport.

Horrido!

[Agent X20]

It was the Focke Wulf Condor that 4 engined bomber. It was used ver effectively in Atlantic on anti shipping activites. Yes thats a great suggestion cause all the 4 engined bombers are allied so far!!

.. ooh and a civil one as well..!!

[The Defiant Man]

.. ooh and a civil one as well..!!

In which case it could be a type that would appeal to (nearly) all collectors, therefore it would be sensible to do.....so there's no chance!

[goonybird]

.. ooh and a civil one as well..!!
yup, and what about a heinkel 111 civil? and while were at it a spanish casa2111.

[minter]

steady on!! if we cant get a 109 g in 1/72 or a 110 what chance those goonybird. ;) just hope 2005 gives as at least 1 or 2 thats been mentioned in this thread :rolleyes:

[Agent X20]

Dragon do a lovely 109G.... :D Hope Corgi leave that one well alone and do the 110.... betting is now on them doing a 109G..!!!

[minter]

either would be great,but i thought a 1/72 109g before a 1/32 wheres the logic,marketing strategy in that ... over to you agent :)

[Agent X20]

Corgi and marketing strategy are not good bedfellows in my book.. hopefully they will now steer clear of a 109G in 72 scale and give us something that is not available in that scale such as a 110.. This duplication is getting a little silly.. P51/FW190A/109E/Zero (!) Hopefully if Dragon venture into the RAF market it will be something a little more orginal and not a Mk 1 Spit/Hurri.

[minter]

hmmmm dont they always go for the ovious/popular types? Like you say hope they stay clear,it would have to be something pretty spectacular in the spit/hurri line to make me buy it

[CFBC]

Well, I was strollingthrough the CFBC Mansion Grounds today in my dream and low and behold through the lower part of the grounds I noted two aircraft landed, well on closer inspection I did see what I thought was Mr M/B and friends getting ready for a few hours in the sky..... I just happened to have me camera handy and managed to capture these prior to their take-off South......

Luckily I was not seen and I managed to evade capture, find this old thread to post my pictures and let you guys have a good luck...... :D

[CFBC]

These shots certainly took some developing I can assure you!!! :) Next time I catch them in the Mansion grounds again, therye gonna get it.... :cool:

[Martin Bull]

Nice, fun pics CFBC - and what a classic pair of models !

That Stuka looks so spot-on..... :(

[CFBC]

Thanks M/B, whats wrong with the Stuka? :confused:

[Typhoon-MKV]

OK refresh my memory what's the ME??

As all mine are in the loft!!!!

:eek: :eek:

[Martin Bull]

The 109 is von Werra, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the Stuka ; it's a perfect model of a thoroughly nasty-looking weapon ! ;)

[CFBC]

Aha!! Thats what I thought.... Very nice example if I may say so.... That and the Eastern version too and you answered about the ME before I could... :)

I was having some fun in the garden today..... Until rain stopped play again!! :(

[Mr Blonde]

I was having some fun in the garden today..... Until rain stopped play again!! :(
Steady on old Boy
Great photo's though

[CFBC]

It's "ok" Mr Blonde, Mrs CFBC was out, so managed to get me grass laid, camera set-up and caught the blighters trying nick me ME and Stuka!!! That M/B I tell yer.......

Gonna have to get some new security next week sorted..... :mad:

[Typhoon-MKV]

Ah yes particularly like the Eastern one, that and Acroma....

Very nice...Both better Corgi efforts.....

Sadly now relagated to the Leg-Ends.....

:( :(

[CFBC]

Alas Typhie.... No snow and no sand.... Working on it.... :cool:

[Sailor.]

So the Me escaped did it? Must have been...... (groan)...... the one that got away! :o

[CFBC]

Yeah, :( - It lived to fight another day.... :o

[Agent X20]

so managed to get me grass laid,

Neat trick if you can do it.....

[planejunky]

I agree about that particular Stuka. I have that one in the BoB collection and IMHO it's one of the best WWII models yet produced by Corgi, I doubt even Dragon could match it for detail!

New German toolings, I'd like to see the 110 nachtjager, and a similar Ju-88. :cool:

[minter]

New German toolings, I'd like to see the 110 nachtjager,

i just wonder if this is coming out in 06 what with albert giving us some tantalizing teasers last week :rolleyes:

[scramble]

For me a Heinkel 177! Now pls :)

[Albert Ross]

I can assure you, we are working on one of these 'German fantasies' for next year! ;) ;) ;)

[Agent X20]

Woo hoo Lufthansa Connie..!!!

[scramble]

Does it start with an H, J, or M...come on give us a clue :D

[Agent X20]

Dornier..!!!

[scramble]

or an Arado!!

[minter]

german York ? :D

[minter]

I can assure you, we are working on one of these 'German fantasies' for next year! ;) ;) ;)

i cant cope with all this, going to have to book another week off work........ah but then again i would have to do the school run :eek: nah i'll stay here i think......good news though Albert :)

[corgi956]

I can assure you, we are working on one of these 'German fantasies' for next year! ;) ;) ;)

That's great news - just hope it is a BoB Me110. :)

And that it is 1/72!!! :)

[davebowden]

how about rudels anti tank stuka.. minimal tooling changes.. and those lovely 37mm cannon. he was after all the most highly decorated german serviceman of all. ! golden oak leaves diamonds swords etc. shot down 30 times,destroyed 11 aircraft, 500 plus tanks, a battleship a cruiser.. he created absolute carnage. and even when he had a leg amputated he was back flying within a fortnight ! beats the hell out of douglas bader. never expected his fw190 to come first as i had never heard of it.

i would still like a 110 or 88 aswell though !

[no4mkit]

...what? There's no blondes in here!! :mad:

[simonclarke1034]

How about this 262 Night fighter! :D :D :D :D

[Agent X20]

Agent would be on my list .

Believe me.. you would not want a die-cast Agent... and if you still dont.. I will get Mrs Agent to have a word..

[Merlin-V12]

Me 110 future best seller !

Yep bring it on....

[kevjb64]

[Tiffie K N-L]

Funny "AgentX20" :D I meant a DornierX20 opp`s I meant a Dornier to go along with a JU88 and 110.Do AgentX20`s have wings?? if so i would be interested :p :p :p.

How about a Diecast James Bond ;) ?

[Agent X20]

Ah.. a Dornier 17.. 215...

[DCRanger]

How about a Diecast James Bond ;) ?
Have a couple of those on the shelf (Corgi of course) cos Mrs DCR likes him.

Seems fair, two of him and many AAs :D

[Tiffie K N-L]

Big James Bond fan DCRanger no figures though Mr`s Tiffie doesnt like James Bond dont know why :rolleyes: ?? but she shore hates it when there is a James Bond Marathon all weekend long on TV but i dont mind at all :D .

[minter]

[minter]

This is the biggest puzzle , why so long ?? Loads of schemes !! :confused:

apparantley a german fantasy is on the cards for next year, my moneys on the 110

[kevjb64]

apparantley a german fantasy is on the cards for next year, my moneys on the 110

Totally agree , must be the 110% ;) obvious choice , but with Corgi ..... :rolleyes:

[plumstix]

Or a JU-52?

[FROGGY]

Ju 52 ?

I prefer :

1) Me110

2) Ju 88 or 188

3) Do 217

[minter]

i think the me 110 would be within most peoples pocket and a good size for displaying....ju52 not that mass appeal as a 110

[scramble]

I agree the Me110 and Ju88 would be tops..especially the nightfighters ones!
loads of different schemes can be possible.

[The Defiant Man]

Yep, those two would be my bets....

[minter]

aerials wont be a prob, look at the new wellington!

[Agent X20]

Ace - cardy-snagger...

[david cotton]

The most requested aircraft in this thread were the Ju88 , Me262 and Me110. Well Corgi have come good on 2 out of 3, and not bad efforts either. IMHO.

I loved the suggestion of a dogfight double set with Lancaster and a German night fighter. That would be a great set, but would sell an around £150 RRP.

The demand for a German night fighter is very high, and I am surprised that Corgi have still not picked up on this yet. Strange that they had done 2 wild sow 1/32 Me109’s , and no Defence of the Reich until this last Me109 release.

With all the demand for an Me110, I cannot see why Corgi has ignored this model. Going for a Gladiator was brave, but surely not a wise as going for the Me110. The gladiator has few adversely fighters it can be displayed with. The Me110 can be displayed in dogfight pose with loads of the existing Corgi fighters. Hell, it can even be an escort for Corgi Stuka’s , He111, Ju88 and Ju52.

Agreed, they could throw a Beaufighter into the bargain, I know it's not german, but hell, what with their habbit of turning their aircraft from one nation to another (back to front) and saying it was captured blah blah...........well you never know

[Hornchurch]

If you worked for corgi and had the final say over a new German tooling ,only one mind which would it be, personally i think i would like a Me 110 BoB version


Personally I'd LOVE to see someone (comercially) brave enough to launch/release the one major B.of.B a/c that gets CONSTANTLY overlooked.

The Dornier Do 17 Z.

There's enough scope for various colour schemes ( & nationalities).

I'll have one Eastern Front in white distemper & one in traditional R.L.M. 70/71/65 with Croatian markings please........


Shame it'll most probably remain just a pipe dream - It's ALWAYS interested me more than the '111 or '88 ever will - yet THEY are always available in kit-form & (now) die-cast.

Will just have to make do with the (near-miss) 1/48th Inj-moulded Plastic-kit of the Revell '217.

[minter]

my sentiments exactly - did all the Luftwaffe donkey work of the Battle of Britain and didn't get any credit

probably as a result of a certain film of the same name, the He 111 got all the credit, even tho' it wasn't used until Aug 13th 1940

one for Hobbymaster, perhaps?

The Do17 is a glaring gap in the BoB diecast collection and unfortunately it appears it is going to stay that way.....:sad:

[david cotton]

I agree, along with the Me110, its a big hole in the BoB collection. To a lesser degree, we also need a Defient and Blem-mellow-

[sniperUK]

No to a GREATER degree we need the Defiant and Blenheim,(dont give a stuff about the RAFs moving targets):laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[von hitchofen]

Me 110 and Do17Z first please - save the lousy bombers and turret fighters for later!

[The Defiant Man]

[QUOTE=sniperUK]No to a GREATER degree we need the Defiant and Blenheim,[QUOTE]

True.....but at least there is the IXO/Altaya Defiant......not great, admittedly, but you could do makeover like No4 did.....
