Let's sort out the men from the Boys.

[Sailor.]

Who's up for a 1/32nd scale Dambuster Vulcan? :eek:

[scramble]

Who's up for a 1/32nd scale Dambuster Vulcan? :eek:

yeah right sure...bring it on...better still 1/32 B-52

[Agent X20]

... but only after me 1/32 Connie with interior lights and spinning props...

[CFBC]

Lets have a 1/72nd XH558 next year and then follow-on with asking Corgi for a 1/32nd version chaps...... Hey?;)

[Craig]

Aye, and with the money you spend on buying those two monsters you could have put the ****** real one back in the air!

[CFBC]

Yeah, perhaps, but I canna display the real one in me mansion... ;)

[Martin Bull]

I'd've thought the real men hereabouts would go for the 1/1 scale Vulcan on evilbay..... ;) :p

[CFBC]

I wish I had the funds!!

[Agent X20]

I wish I had the space.....

(like to see Mrs Agent try and dust that one..!!)

[eismeer]

I wish I had the space.....

(like to see Mrs Agent try and dust that one..!!)

Bet Mrs A would have trouble in breaking any bits of it while dusting though :)

[I love planes]

Vulcan, schmulkin...where's my 1:32 scale RCAF "VR-A" Lanc!! :D :D :D

[Agent Carr]

Simple answer no. I hope there is no more 1.32 toolings ever in the corgi cat.

[Hoverbug]

I'll speak up for the 1/32 line and say I'm estatic for it. Given the increasing popularity of other 1/32 military models, I think it will ultimately pay off for Corgi. Yes, they are large and expensive, but if you can accomodate that, then why not?

[Martin Bull]

Roll on the 1/32 B-52H..... :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[minter]

Simple answer no. I hope there is no more 1.32 toolings ever in the corgi cat.

Hurricane please.. then i dont care !

[scramble]

And a FW190D please....on bended knees I ask you Corgi DO a Dora!!in 1/32 :)

[The Defiant Man]

I'm with Agent Carr - no more 1/32 - far too big. It's bad enough trying to store/display 1/72...

[scramble]

what... more repaints in 1/72??? still room for a couple different models in 1/32 i think ..Hurricane, Stuka, FW190D,Thunderbolt..sigh. :rolleyes:

[minter]

1/32 lightning! now that would be a big fu##er!

[Albert Ross]

There IS another 1/32nd subject on the way, but I am forbidden to reveal it! :rolleyes: Something many have asked for!

[plumstix]

Hurricane then. :D

[CFBC]

Ha.. What Plummy..... Guess again.... :(

Tiffie???? :)

[plumstix]

Tsr2? :d :D :D :D

[minter]

Ha.. What Plummy..... Guess again.... :(

Tiffie???? :)

tiffie it cant be,im biased but hurri has to be favourite,a few have asked for this, cant be a 190.... oh unless its a p-47,thought you wouldnt have minded a hurri CFBC?

[scramble]

Yippeee....Hooray....another 1/32 mold...Ole' ohhhh :D

[CFBC]

tiffie it cant be,im biased but hurri has to be favourite,a few have asked for this, cant be a 190.... oh unless its a p-47,thought you wouldnt have minded a hurri CFBC?
No worries Mints... A Hurri would be GRAND indeed to sit nicely with my P51 and Spit, but Uncle Albs has always built us up and then, well........ Deflated us.....

[shuttle]

Hurricane!

:) Shuttle

[minter]

he is teasing us no? or should that be spoiling us with his plate of forrera roche

[scramble]

A Stuka then!

[CFBC]

Now a Stuka woud be nice.... Yeah..... Looking at the 1/72nd stuff theyve produced, but canna see that happening......

:(

[scramble]

Hello CFBC
IMO its has to be either a Hurricane or a Stuka...or Thunderbolt??? anyone of these will be super.

[CFBC]

Yes, anyone of these I am happy abut too... Please not a Chipmunk at this time though...... :(

[scramble]

for me neither...although they would be small enough to fit in most cabinets :D even in 1/32

[minter]

Yes, anyone of these I am happy abut too... Please not a Chipmunk at this time though...... :(

i was nearly going to say they wouldnt do a 1/32 they havnt done in 1/72, but bite my tongue no 1/72 109G!

[CFBC]

Yeah, and read one of the other 1/32nd threads..... A Chipmunk may be a possibility........ :( Wot - NO Hurricane.....

[Hoverbug]

Since the number of repaints for 1/32 is much lower, maybe this is where Albert thinks the Typhoon would belong. I certainly hope so. With the growing amount of 1/32 Forces of Valor German armour running around my basement, I need something to level the field.

[snafu]

Crikey, more guessing games! Judging by the above - every plane under the sun's being asked for in 1/32nd scale.....can't we narrow it down a bit and get the next issue sussed out?

[snafu]

.... A Chipmunk may be a possibility........ .....

Yeah, with a model Snafu in the passenger seat flying over Ottawa :) :)

[CFBC]

Yeah Snaffs.... We could organise that with Corgi..... Like the Wocka wocka and jeep.... Snaffs & Chipmunk.....

Sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon!!! :p

[snafu]

...and highly popular it would be too :)

[philminnion]

The idea of a 1/32nd Dambuster Vulcan was over the top. I love it. Now how about a 1/32 Sunderland complete with beaching gear, depth charges that roll out on underwing racks, front retracting turret, etc. in full Coastal Command livery. Now that would be one fun bathtub toy.

Phil

[CFBC]

Phil,

Thats a good idea and one that has been discussed and mentioned before, but just think of the size of it!!!! My oh my.......

Do you think it will ever fit in yer bath tub? :confused: Perhaps take it to yer local pool? :D

[minter]

and how much would this cost :rolleyes:

[Agent X20]

..and how many would they sell....

.... thought my medication was strong..... ;)

[snafu]

....about as many as the Mossie........

[Agent X20]

I dont think so.... :rolleyes: You aint getting that up the stairs with out a lotta consent from Mrs Snaffs...

[davidwford]

Somebody mention a 1/32 scale Sunderland? Top suggestion, Norwegian one please with rusty hull effect.

[charley]

and barnacles! :p

[warbirdguru]

Well, how's about a colourful razorback Mustang - B/C? Lots of repaint options and Gentile's would look well........ FANTASTIC! Then there could be a Bluenosed Bastards of Bodney 352nd FG machine - Princess Elizabeth... am I warm or has all this already been discussed.....

:D

[minter]

oh it has :o

[warbirdguru]

A really nice Spitfire Mk V in Polish colours like the one operated by Guy Black's HAC at Duxford? Be really great to see a baby Spit in 1/32nd? What do you say Charley?

[warbirdguru]

Another baby Spit like EP120 operated by TFC? (Sorry I seem to be hogging the forum)......can't believe Corgi haven't considered this already?

[charley]

A really nice Spitfire Mk V in Polish colours like the one operated by Guy Black's HAC at Duxford? Be really great to see a baby Spit in 1/32nd? What do you say Charley?

Yeah im up for a dose of that! Where do i sign???? Warbirdguru do you have a connection to warbirds?

[CFBC]

Another baby Spit like EP120 operated by TFC? (Sorry I seem to be hogging the forum)......can't believe Corgi haven't considered this already?
WBG - YOU hog the Forum as much as you want and when you get up and around Agentx's posting level, well - Ure simply spending too much of yer life on here, but hey - Thats what it's for.....

GREAT suggestion.... So, whats you Warbird connection then? :D

[warbirdguru]

Done a few books and articles over the years, my speciality is the P-51 and I write for several magazines in the UK, USA and Germany.....

BTW has anyone produced a book on the Corgi Diecast aircraft?

:)

[charley]

BTW has anyone produced a book on the Corgi Diecast aircraft?

:)

Dear Warbirdguru

Please DO NOT bring great marketing ideas to this forum... MINDS HEARTS AND SOULS must be left at the home page!!! :D Absolutly corking idea! Highlly unlikely to be taken up by said manufacturer because its just too good!!! :rolleyes:

Mr Tricatus web site is the best thing going to 'record' the Aviation Archive!

[minter]

you need a good reason,...perhaps 50th anniversary of AAs.....phewwww be too old to lift the book by then :(

[Agent X20]

BTW has anyone produced a book on the Corgi Diecast aircraft?

:)

The Lofty Agent guide to AA prices 2004...!! :D

[CFBC]

The Lofty Agent guide to AA prices 2004...!! :D
Yet to be seen..... :p Well spoken about, but no trousers...... Opps, me trousers again...... :rolleyes: Wrong thread.... :eek:

[minter]

like a brian rix film you mean...trousers always falling down :D

[CFBC]

Oh, yes - good man.... ;)

[minter]

wonder how long it is before someone says whos brian rix :rolleyes:

[CFBC]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/talent/r/rix_brian.shtml ;)

[Agent X20]

Yer got ter build up the suspense.... they will be gaggin for it... once me partner has rounded up the 100 chimpanzees, supplied them all with typewriters we should see some material appear...

As you have taken that attitude we have decided not to place our order for 100 keyboards with yourself... think it is for the best... :D :D :D

Mind you gotta find me partner first.. and the petty cash tin..... :D

[CFBC]

Oh dear.... No keybored order? :o I was set to get em all boxed-up and shipped too..... As for your partner in crime.... I thinks he has run off with the cash tin and bought that 2nd patches.......!! ;)

Mr W/B.... May I ask what books.... Curious and interested at the same time.... :)

[Agent X20]

Run off... after he sold me that Dieppe for a tenner....!! :D

[CFBC]

A tenner, see, ure dreaming that tenner nowadays and you thinks it's reality...... Nah - More like £24.99 less 10% :D = tenner..... Hmmmm. :eek:

I am sure yer partner in crime will be back.... When he's realised yer on2 a winner..... :)

[Agent X20]

Naw.. a tenner... boys an idiot.. but dont tell him that... (mind you he is the one with the petty cash tin... mmmm.. ).. postage was £25 though...

Never mind at least the Shu Shus will come in now at a cheaper price.. :D

[warbirdguru]

Who is Brian Rix (just kidding). Now, about the new 1/32nd Scale Mustang - got BBD today and was pretty impressed. So, when was the 1/32nd scale B model discussed. care to elaborate anyone??

[minter]

if yuor talking p-51B,cant remember 1/32 scale being discussed :confused:

[warbirdguru]

See post 49 above where I asked if a 1/32 B model Mustang had been talked about and some chap, name escapes me, (in post 50) said it had! I'd certainly be interested to hear what others think - with the B model hybrid nearing completion at Duxford (to fly) it would be great to see that represented in the Corgi range, though I've heard it will be painted as either 352nd FG Princess Elizabeth, or Gentile's 4FG mount....... - so, straw poll (it would be new moulds) - how do people feel about a B/c model Mustang? Yes or no?

[warbirdguru]

OMG I just had a magic thought - I think I know Albert's secret for the next 1/32nd Corgi. It has to be (better eat 3 weetabix - am I allowed to advertise?) a CONNIE!

[Agent X20]

Gonna hold you to that Mr Iknoweverythingaboutoldaeroplanes person..!! :D :D

We will find out where you live and kidnap you family, threatening to give them back unless this model is produced..!! :D :D :D

[warbirdguru]

Not everything! I know even less about the joys of Corgidom - my second Mossie arrived today which will probably mean prices are reduced by 50% by March; fortunately I cleaned out and floor-boarded the loft last summer before this corgimania took hold.....gees just think how big the Connie box will be. The poor parcelfarce guys........and if they do produce an all black Mossie AND a B model Mustang AND a Connie - yikes......... :o :D :D :D

[Agent X20]

Working props and full interior with illumination.. just like the travel agent models....

[warbirdguru]

Looking at the new Blue Angles support Connie, I'm really tempted. For the real warbird fans what about an EC-121? Nice grey in Navy markings complete with dish....(or whatever its called, my memory fails me....what's my name again) So, at 1/32nd scale what would the wingspan be....now, where's the calculator......and how heavy would it be......and what airlines would they do.

[Agent X20]

If only to go with your Blue Angels Herc..

[warbirdguru]

remember seeing the Blue Angels flying Phantoms at Hucknall in nineteen hundred and frozen to death. Apart from Charles Masefield flying a red Mustang in formation with the Red Arrows (I think it was the same year) they were the highlight of the show - I have the Blue Angels Phantom leader (bought as a momento of seeing them at Hucknall:cool: , gosh this is a midlife crisis) but not the Herc! So, no enthusiasm for the 1/32 B model Mustang then chaps? :confused: :D :D :D

[Rob Kocur]

There IS another 1/32nd subject on the way, but I am forbidden to reveal it! :rolleyes: Something many have asked for!


oh thee from above , PLEASE grant that it be a Hurricane

[minter]

oh thee from above , PLEASE grant that it be a Hurricane

it must be,............oh please im........ on bended knee here.....shall i bother to continue with my 1/32 sclae kit ? if its a hurri bet its a tuck or townsend...wouldnt mind a page,lacey or nicholson though..someone different

[Agent X20]

Naw... Zero..... :D

[minter]

thats me deflated :( ...like a pin through a lilo :rolleyes:

[Agent X20]

Small (pin) prick.. wrong thread... naw.. ecomonic sense.. if they are worldwide, they will sell more Zeros than Hurricanes as dem Yankees have a passion for them....

[Albert Ross]

OMG I just had a magic thought - I think I know Albert's secret for the next 1/32nd Corgi. It has to be (better eat 3 weetabix - am I allowed to advertise?) a CONNIE!

WET DREAMS AGAIN :confused: :eek:

[Agent X20]

.. but secretly sigh of relief time, imagine trying to get that past she who must be obeyed...

[warbirdguru]

So I guess a Connie is out of the question then Albert? As there is no comment on the B model Mustang that's what it must be then?! Actually a long nosed Fw 190 might just do it for me of course (not with a blue nose or Blue Angels paint scheme) you lot must think I have a fetish for blue by now....

Come on Albert, tell us - no one from Corgi reads this do they?? DO THEY?!

[Agent X20]

Reading......is it part of the entrance exam....??

[warbirdguru]

Just off the M4 isn't it? (that's some way away from the A5/M1/M69 place by Corgi HQ.....

[Agent X20]

Might as well be....

[minter]

Small (pin) prick.. wrong thread... naw.. ecomonic sense.. if they are worldwide, they will sell more Zeros than Hurricanes as dem Yankees have a passion for them....

they will want hurris as well when they see tom cruise winning the battle of britain :rolleyes:

[Agent X20]

Dont be silly... they will use P51's... more canopy.. more Tom.. more white teeth.... :D

[Aces-High]

P-51's moddified with plenty of cussions onthe pilots seat. I've heard he's only as big as Dennis Waterman off of Little Britain.

[minter]

wasnt being too tall for a fighter pilot a hindrance? there ia a thread somewhere here about how small frank carey was

[warbirdguru]

Interesting point Minter! Some years ago I worked on a Bucc squadron and all the SHFP's all seemed to be under 5'8" tall. I wondered if that was coincidence. I was also told that smaller guys suffer the effects of G force much less - but wonder if that is just a rumour promulgated by the vertically challenged! And dont try and tell me the Bucc was a bomber either! Also, Tom Cruise does have his own Mustang (airworthy) but probably more as an investment than a big boys toy (forgive the pun). However, Hurricanes should be used (Michael Mann take note).....

[minter]

didnt know cruise had his own mussie! yeah no excuses these days if they want to do it right they can, theres enough hurris for close up work and some flying shots, and computer technology for the other bits, jerry stuff.planes blowing up etc, i think they used computers for captain correlles(forgive spelling) stukas

[Agent X20]

Bet he need sone of those bolster cushions to see out the cockpit!!!

[minter]

hope he doesnt go around saying " i say old chap" and "jolly good show" :rolleyes:

[Agent X20]

"wizard prang in the bally kite....."

[Albert Ross]

Looking at the new Blue Angles support Connie, I'm really tempted. For the real warbird fans what about an EC-121?

Yes, we'll get around to an EC-121, to be sure....but only in 1/144th!
