Corgi released this great model in 2001; the manufacturer sold out this specific model many years ago. Now most Corgi dealers are “Sold Out” too; it is very difficult to find model. I was cleaning my warehouse for the 2007-year end sale and found a few large boxes with Corgi 1/144 scale planes models released in 1999-2002 and among it a couple of British Airways models. So here is a blast from the past.
ABOUT THE PLANE
The Aviation Archive Series
“From the days when the skies were the new frontiers, the Aviation Archive charts the history of flight, commemorating significant military and civil aircraft and events from the early pioneering years to the present day.
Using original plans and rare archive material, each aircraft and livery has been carefully researched and authenticated to bring the aviation enthusiast the finest range of collectable die cast models. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the models feature rubber tires, interchangeable undercarriage, rotating propellers where applicable and high quality printed livery details. Beautifully packaged, each replica comes with a display stand, and two sets of landing gear (gear up and gear down).”
ABOUT THE MODEL,
It is a beautiful model indeed, with attention to small details; clear, sharp, historically accurate imprints (NO DECALS). Came with landing gears, TWA stairs and heavy duty stand.
Packed in attractive box, that is very useful if you would like to make it a present.
