Hello,


AA33907 Supermarine Spitfire (Sights & Sounds)


Jimbo.

Isn't this Spitfire part of the "working range" - or does this one now come with its own search light and flak sounds:D ;)



Condor

[Agent X20]

Was going to question that too.. but really have lost total track of what the pooch is producing these days..

[minter]

yes i know ,i have seen little cows that when you press the tail a little doo doo pops out his bum which is a little chocolate,what a good idea :LOL: :unsure:

[Agent X20]

This forum is going to the dogs..:(

[minter]

wheres cfbc when you need him

[Eagle1]

According to the club newsletter it's due for release this month. Corgi woudn't lie to us, would they? ;)

[Eagle1]

I'd really like Nine O Nine, but it will have to wait till the price hopefully comes down.

Yeah, it's the Sailor Malan Working Range one..............

[Red Leader]

Well if they get the hawk out in May it'll do em a favour cause they should really shift em at the air shows!!

could'nt agree more...so they'll probably release it in October !!

[kevjb64]

Would be even funnier if it wasn't probably true . :rolleyes: :D

[Red 2]

Looks like we're entering the phoney war period before the full release schedule is known judging by the fact Albert is kindly dropping a few more hints around and we do appreciate it Albert, honestly!

When will the schedule be officially published? Or will Corgi US beat everyone else to it?!:rolleyes:

[condor]

Whats happening to Corgi releases at present. Nothing seems to be coming out:( Going through the 2nd half catalogue; He111 due July, Wellington due August, 1st Typhoon due August, JJ Spitfire 3 piece due July, Tornado due July, Jaguar due August, Chinook due July, Seaking due August, 1st P-38 due August:confused: That's one hell of a list of missing models, add to which the Stringbags and Cats have yet to appear:eek:

I know what I think... However I am keeping it to myself... I am skint too. :)

[Agent X20]

Yer cant say those sorta things to as no doubt Shyster Grabbit and Overspray are no doubt watching your every move.. but I think there are one or two that think the same way...

[The Defiant Man]

There is a delivery due this Friday.....well, people are advertising the Edwards Spit as being released on the 6th.....as for anything else....perhaps the delays are being caused due to the fact that every model is now being meticulously studied before packing to ensure it can pass the highest quality control.......:rolleyes:

Really, you don't say ;) - from delicate irony to barbed sarcasm, a fine line of distinction between the two - yeah right :D.

:) Mr. Cardinal,

Welcome to the Forum. Mr. TDM may be treading a fine line but I for one would like to think he is may be right. Recent Hound release has left much to be desired and imho harmed their reputation badly. The Newcomers are going and indeed are giving them a run for the diecast aviation pounds/dollars.......;) :(

Thanks for the welcome Spock1 :).

Sadly, I share your sentiments with regard to the Corgi QC issues. I've had more than my share of QC problems with Corgi over the past year or so, but no more so than with some of the other manufacturers. (Don't even get me started on the Dragon F14 Jolly Rogers QC issues I encountered :mad:.)

I do sincerely hope that Corgi get their QC issues under control though as they are still a benchmark for the industry, with a time honoured tradition in the die-cast field. It would be sad to see them slip into the abyss when they have both the history and the potential to still lead the way if they choose to do so :cool:.

[The Defiant Man]

Mr. TDM may be treading a fine line but I for one would like to think he is may be right.
What, who, me? Never.....

On both points.:D

Irony & sarcasm can be separate or inter-twined with sarcasm within irony or vice-versa......as was the case in my comment.....irony in that they might be doing something they probably aren't, sarcasm in that it was a critisism of Corgi's current QC. Irony: "lovely weather" when it is p*ssing it down....sarcasm (when you are really meaning to be derogatory about something/someone): "what a lovely model" when it is clearly a bag of sh*te. Unfortunately (or sometimes fortunately:D ) many folks don't know the difference....

Sorry....it had been one of those days.....:o

Seemed to kill the thread, too.....

[CFBC]

Just received todays Corgi newsletter e-mail to say the following has just been released (or being)

This week's special release is the Supermarine Spitfire F VIII - Flt. Lt. 'Eddie' Edwards from the Aircraft of the MTO range for £29.99. After being rested as a gunnery instructor with 203 Group at El Ballah, Edwards was promoted to Squadron Leader and joined 417 Squadron in Italy in 1944 flying Spitfire Mk VIIIs

Is that it? :confused: :)

[Martin Bull]

This is one I'd actually like to get ( :blink: ) as I want an Italian-theatre Spitfire....

[DCRanger]

Is the MKVIII casting any better than the MKIX?

[Martin Bull]

Looking at the pic, I'd say.....not much.:(

[klepto4]

Sorry....it had been one of those days.....:o

Seemed to kill the thread, too.....

Doh! Anyway I would really like to get this desert spit and the Dick Audet one but corgi priority still seems to be lost again as the Ian Richard Gleeds Spit is far more attractive looking and its part of the BoB Memorial flight (Ok it's not the same marked spit) But one of Polish teams spits are really nice too, looking at my latest Osprey Book of reference :D
Plus I say again the Dick Audet one isn't as attractively marked as the latest similiar camo Warbird's One. But I suppose the more I read about these pilots the more I want a 1:72 scale diecast represented model of the spit they flew in the war, so too that I say "Corgi I am really really truely grateful", even if your priority seems to be a bit pants and please please sort out that Dihedral on the VB's :eek:

[minter]

i'm confused here...what does "special" release mean ?

[parsig9]

I think it's just a marketing thing....they hope we feel special that they finally released it....:p

[Agent X20]

.......MI Home of the Rockin' 1st place Detroit Tigers...

...mmm...

I smell a case of bull.... sorry Tiger poo.....:D :D :D

Just noticed on the Corgi USA site that the "Blitz" Heinkel He111 is shown as available - Anyone know if this is correct, as nowhere else has it listed as being out yet:unsure: .

Not long to wait then, bit like the second half releases of this year :rolleyes:

Seems that only one release this week , another 262 , so where are the new castings ? :confused: :confused: :confused:

[CFBC]

Hmm, yeah.. That is concerning me too P51... Two Me262's due and nothing else from the catalogue as yet....

Very concerning from a collecting point of view. :confused:

Either going to swamp the market with a bumper set of releases:rolleyes: or continuing QC/production problems or :blink: .....:(

[Agent X20]

There are just pumping up the Liberator mold for you....:D :D :D

Seems to be a bit of a lull before the storm..... Mind you see from the Corgi catalogue download site that they have a Jersey Jerk advert ready and waiting..!!!

Typical none for ages then 3 turn up:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Jus heard today that the hound have had a falling out with their wholesaler in Northern ireland with the result that none of the dealers here can get anything as the wholesaler has stopped selling Gorgi .Also a rumour of something similar with a major wholesaler in England.Things are not looking good.:(

In that case they need new wholesalers organised or they are well and truly shafted, seeing as they sell far more AA in the UK than anywhere else.....

[Agent X20]

I thought many retailers and dealers in the UK bought directly from the pooch...

.....admittedly some go to wholesalers.....

[sniperUK]

This is the info I got from a mate who owns a model shop, he says the hound sells direct to shops but only in large amounts so a lot of shops go through a wholesaler and pick up the items they want.

[The Defiant Man]

The local shop that I used to buy from......before I saw sense.....definitely bought from a wholesaler.

[tsr2]

Talking to my local (diecast) dealer today he mentioned that one of the first two Catalinas should be here by the end of the month :)

[p-51d]

Has anyone seen the catalina and lysander models, i was wondering if either or both would have the rear guns fitted, in the blisters in the cat and rear cockpit in the lizzie, as corgi seem to leave out waist guns in others . Let's hope they get them right, but not hopeful if past history is repeated.

There is a full page Corgi advert on the back inside cover of this month's Flypast, which arrived today. On it there are pictures of the first two Lysanders (pre-pros by the look of them).....no rear gun on either.

[Red 2]

Anyone out there got a clue when the Ju-88 is supposed to arrive?

Ditto Typhoon (noisy one), Typhie (proper one!)Lysander , & Cats to the UK? :(

Some time before Xmas I would hope. Huge problems if they leak into next year.

The first cat is due this week I think?

[Red 2]

Before I get too excited clearing the shelfspace for a 2007 (or 8) Ju-52, would just like to see the Ju 88 safely in Red 2 Towers!:rolleyes:
