[two barrels]

All you here about is what corgi are doing in British WW2 So What I want know is when are they going to do Junkers Ju88 or a Dornier Do 17z or even a Messerschmitt Me 110 :o

[shuttle]

Two barrels,

This should be in the 'military' thread! I agree but we have been quite active already in posing this very question in various threads. My own list would be the following (in 1/72 scale):

Late mark Me-109
Stuka with cannon
FW-190 with bomb(s)
He-111 with V-1 (or how's about a 'Zwilling'!)
Ju-88
Me-262
Me-110 (BoB & Nightfighter)

:) Shuttle

[Agent X20]

ooh ooh.. a 1/72 BEA Ju52...?

[Craig]

I agree an "Iron Annie" would be rather nice, the perfect partner to the Dakota! Certainly plenty of colour schemes to go at as you say, 1:144 seems to be a little out of favour with Corgi lately though. I hope so, but instict tells me maybe not.

[Agent X20]

Well some of them started life as civils...!!

FW200 please.. pre war.....

[goonybird]

......and the Heinkel 111.

BTW Agent, could have done with some moral support on the 'ransom' thread, where were you- or did I offend in some way? :confused:

[Agent X20]

No .....no fence taken... but burning white Connies..? :(

Naw FW200... D2600 with nice shiny Mercedes... and little figure, press the button and his hand salutes and the crowd roars.....

[FURBALL]

Can someone do some Luft 46 stuff someday. I know it didn't fly but it is a fascinating subject. An Fw 200 would be cool, Immelman III AND I./KG 40, nasty undercarriage though.

We can't get corgi to do many axis aircraft at all, let alone prototype/drawing board stuff, agree about the condor but don't hold your breath.

[Martin Bull]

Yes - we nagged them forever about a Bf110, and look what happened.....:rolleyes:

[FURBALL]

You never know you may get two Bf 110's come along together! How do you choose between a Bf110C-4 Battle of Britain or Bf110G-4 nightfighter?:unsure:

[Geoff K]

No problem - you get one of each, as I'm sure I will.

Geoff.

[FURBALL]

What about the He 177? Lancaster size and with a couple of Fritz missiles how cool would that be? sorry getting excited must go to my scratching pole.

Best buy the airfix He-177 , corgi don't listen, the ju-52 was'nt exactly an every day topic on the forum but the are producing it . The same can be said about a battle of britain ju-88, still no sign of it and a sure seller.

You'll need a Luftwaffe fire engine to go with, for when the engines catch fire, otherwise the whole cabinet could go up :eek:

What a great diorama, fire engines, ambulance etc, and only £250 a go at corgi 2008 prices!!

[Red Leader]

IMHO The FW 200 Condor would have made the next logical big 4 engined diecast, and would have evened things out vs the Allies big Jobs! Really can't see why they chose the JU 52.

[johnnyboy]

Would like Do 17 a this would help with my BoB collection, then maybe a JU86R:cool:

[Red 2]

As a Lufty fan, re all the earlier items on the wish lists, yes please!!

Perhaps a little too much optimism as to the types that Corgi would do but my thoughts are turning to who will pick up the baton for the Lufty medium bombers if the Pooch has its paws full with other concerns/products.

I am convinced that there is a market, albeit finite, for Lufty types partic European theatre. Hobbymaster perhaps?:unsure:

[planenuts]

Hobby Master is doing the Bf 110. And I believe it was hawkonevoodoo that hinted somewhere that they are going to do more multi-engine stuff.......I'll take a Do 217 please:)

[Geoff K]

Someone surely has to do a Do17Z in 1/72, & if it can be modded to a 217E or K - without horrendous joint lines - even better.

Can't wait for the HM '110, just hope they don't do as Corgi have with the Ju88 & come out with every version but the one I/we want - BoB & NF.

[The Defiant Man]

Not the greatest model in the collection, but for a fiver ready-built off ebay it's ok.....

[FURBALL]

Cool Pencil Defiat Man! I guess any manufacturer must look at how much mileage they can get out of their tooling investment. If the variants are too different then is it going to be ecconomic? Ju 88A's differ quite a bit from the Ju88G's but is a manufaturer prepared to comprimise accuracy so they can produce both?:unsure: 'Some catch this catch 22!'

[The Defiant Man]

Seeing as its a German Aircraft thread.....an excuse to post pics of a couple of less iconic types in the collection....again, both bought off ebay ready built (although improved a little with micro flat, etc).....

...and one I made.....

The ME-163 would be nice in diecast , especially with the mottled fuselage but how could corgi justify their. MRP on that one

Add some ground crew figures, Cstoff tanker and a Tstof tanker with a sign saying "Stand well clear".:D

[minter]

yes please KG2 or 76 :)

[FURBALL]

I believe Diverse Images may be doing an Me163 and Me109K-4 at some time.:)

[totalplanenuts]

[QUOTE=Geoff K]Someone surely has to do a Do17Z in 1/72, & if it can be modded to a 217E or K - without horrendous joint lines - even better.

modifications to turn a Do17Z into a 217 would be too extensive, not to require a new tooling...:unsure:
It would be easy to make a Do215 however :) .

The Do24 would be an ideal companion to the PBY...:cool:

[FURBALL]

Found this today, some great luftwaffe WW II colour photos. Fascinating to see the real Camo colours. http://www.ww2incolor.com/ :)

[minter]

ah well done furball i was looking for this site recently but couldnt find it cheers

[FURBALL]

..worth a Distinguished Fur Medal?:unsure:
It is interesting to compare these images with diecast models whose colours seem to be so much more 'intense' and pay little attention to scale effect even taking into account fading, bleaching, and weathering. It seems as if the manufacturers are missing something. There is no substitute for good photographic evidence.

[minter]

true, but corgi especially cant do weathering
