A great year indeed Shuttle! Next year is promising to be very good as well. With the 110s due from HM and Corgi with those and a bunch of new schemes of existing molds, I'm looking forward to it. Would like to see a Do-17 but I can be patient.

Great photos! Thanks.

Better, rather than great in my opinion, market is still hopelessly allied biased.

Nice pics, Shuttle - but they go to show IMPO that no-one has yet done a definitive, excellent, later-model Bf109 in 1/72......-unsure-

I included the Ju-88 and Ju-52 as I think they are a superb couple of new releases from Corgi - really nice moldels. The Corgi/HM Stuka is also a fine model - a later mark then the Corgi Stuka and a nice set of cannons. Corgi also gave us the Swastika and removed the 'wash' which has blighted many of the HM models IMHO......

I am hoping the Me-110's will be worth the wait. The Corgi 'BoB' models next year will be welcome but a new Luftwaffe tooling will be welcome. A Do-17 perhaps or what about another fighter? How about an Arado 196 or 234, a Dornier Do 335 'Pfeil' or even a Komet and 'Natter' set? I would love to see Corgi produce a Me-262 nightfighter and also a 'Mistel' composite!! I think we need a new tooling soon!

That is an excellent list of possibles Shuttle. We can but hope. It's interesting seeing your Luftwaffe pics as I've just done some similar ones yesterday featuring green/white or white FW190, JU52, Stuka and He-111. The wife thinks it's a very suitable festive display and has since "borrowed" the Gladiator diorama for the lounge as it "looks very festive". Possibly a good thing to as she has also just handed over the cash to buy the "Night Reaper" Hurricane for my Christmas.-biggrin-

BTW the white pics didn't work out very well so I can't post them-sad-

Definitively a good year! I get Rudel's "Kanonenvogel", a Heinkel 111 Sight and Sound, a Ju-52 and a Heinkel 177 "Greif" -biggrin-

mrs mint wouldnt have left it like that she would have put a small santa or reigndeer on it -biggrin-

i think or hope 08 is going to be better for jerry stuff, could do with another hienkel and the BoB 88 and 110 bring them on -cool- , just think corgi could have done a couple more 109A schemes

Nice pics shuttle/scott-cool-

Things are certainly looking good for the Lufty collectors and can only get better in 2008 especially when the long awaited 1/32 scale Fw-190 arrives-unsure- -laugh-

YES TDM... It is very -cool- indeed mate... What would have topped off 2007 would have been the JU52 with floats, but oh well. Enough diecast out there at present.
