From Corgi’s aviation series Predators of the Skies Series 2 – Defining Missions is this 1:72 scale Limited Edition Junkers Ju87G-1 Stuka, Anti Tank Section, Briansk, Russia, April 1943. The first version of this famous plane, the Ju87A-1 saw action in 1937 with the Condor Legion in Spain. Joined in 1938 and 1939 by the later Ju87B, the Junkers dive-bomber attained greater notoriety than any other weapon which Germany launched in the Second World War. The Junkers Ju87 became synonymous with the abbreviation ‘Stuka’ from Sturzkampfflugzeug, a term descriptive of all dive-bombers. The Ju87G was the final version of the Stuka.

It abandoned the dive attack in favour of an armament of two 37 mm Rheinmetall-Borsig BK3,7 anti-tank cannons. Initially, the Ju87G was considered dangerous by its crews as the additional weight and drag of the wing guns adversely affected performance and handling.

Corgi DH Mosquito PR.I - W4051, LY-U, No1. PRU, July 1941. AA32814

REF: AA32814 Scale 1:72 Wingspan 230mm Limited Edition

The first production examples of the Mosquito were photo-reconnaissance machines. The prototype for the "Mosquito Photo-Reconnaissance Mark I (PR.I)", with the tail code "W4051", performed its first flight on 10 June 1941. The PR.I looked very much like a Mosquito bomber variant, as it retained the glass nose for camera targeting and the bomb-bay doors, but it included five camera ports. There was a port for an F24 oblique camera behind and below the wing, and twin ports for an F52 stereo camera pair behind the bomb bay doors. There was a port in the front of each bomb-bay doors, with the bomb bay accommodating either an F24 stereo camera pair or a single K17 camera. This model comes with free UK postage. This stunning model is available to buy from the die-cast-collector website.
