After it seems Corgi took a break from their Vietnam series, especially the very nice UH-1B and AH-1 choppers, they are getting ready to announce new additions! Word has it sometime in September they will let us know!

Brad,
Keep us informed as I really liked the Huey. I have the 'Gunship' on display and it looks really nice! I hope they don't do more Police or Fire Department versions though.......

The AH-47 'Guns a go-go' is being done isn't it? Did they do a 'slick' Huey?
How about some Sandy’s and Jolly Greens?
can recomend the books 'Chickenhawk' and 'Flight of the Intruder' (not the film, though flying sequences are well done)
Regards

Will do, I have all 6 huey's so far and all 3 of the Cobras. My vietnam chooper shelf is full at the moment, I really need a new house :)

Maple,
Those are actually two of my favorite books! And you're right, the movie was awful of Flight of the Intruder.
Would love to see some Sandy's or JG's, but from what I hear, it's just going to be more hueys and possibly cobras. Never know though if Corgi has a few tricks up their sleeve.

Would be fantastic to have a skyhawk to go with the phantom or perhaps a thunderchief

You would have to think that a skyhawk would be an excellent choice, a multitude of variants, colour schemes and users. Not a complex die cast tool. Corgi could have a skyhawk in their range for many years to come.

RAAF Canberra B.20 2 SQN would be a nice choice.

Corgi have added 3 more 1/50 scale AFV's to the Vietnam series but no aircraft.
