    Corgi BoB display

    I just landed this nice Corgi 1:32 display with one of the true characters from BoB: The southafrican pilot A.G. Lewis.



    As seen on this period photo:

    Thumbs up Nice one

    I like these 1:32 scale Corgi planes. Never got around to buying any of them though. No place to put it. My wife has allowed me to have half a propellar and a plane cylinder from a radial engine in the living room. But not more...

    Guesse I was lucky. It was produced last year in a limited edition and is - according to Corgi Ltd. - completely sold out.
    I don't have room for it either...

    Here it is.

    Same situation - only 1:32. And 67 years ago. Nice tribute to Lewis and the rest of the Few.

    That is really well done. Makes me want to go see what is available... but that would only create more WANT IT troubles!

    A very nice model. Bound to increase in value with time!
