Probably no other aircraft in history has been developed in so many forms for so many purposes — except, perhaps, for the De Havilland Mosquito. Flown long before WWII as a civil prototype, after a frantic design process led by two temporarily hired Americans well-versed in modern stressed skin construction, the first Ju 88s were transformed into the heavier, slower and more capacious A-1 bombers, which were just entering service as WWII began. The formidable bomb load and generally good performance were offset by inadequate defensive armament. In the A-4, the span was increased, the bomb load and gun power were substantially augmented and a basis was laid for diverse further development. The Corgi "Aviation Archive" presents highly-detailed, ready-made diecast models of military and civilian aircraft. The vast Aviation Archive range has become the standard by which all other diecast airplane ranges are judged. Each Corgi model is based on a specific aircraft from an important historical or modern era of flight, and has been authentically detailed from original documents and archival library material. Famous airplanes and aviators from both military and commercial airline aviation are all honored. Corgi "Aviation Archive" diecast airplanes feature: - Diecast metal construction with some plastic components.
- Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.
- Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.
- Optional extended/retracted landing gear with rotating wheels.
- Poseable presention stand to display the aircraft "in flight".
- Many limited editions with numbered certificate of authenticity.
- Detailed pilot and crew member figures.
- Authentic detachable ordnance loads complete with placards.
- Selected interchangeable features such as airbrakes, opened canopies and access panels.
- Selected moving parts such as gun turrets, control surfaces and swing-wings.
