Legends collection.
A really fabulous model. The colors top and bottom are gorgeous
and well applied. Really worth getting. The only drawback is Corgi's
manufacturing problems with landing gear.
Landing
gear saga. When I received this particular model the gear
hung straight down (looking for all the world like bloodhound ears).
My first thought was the production-line worker who glued the gear
on probably didn't have the slightest idea what the gear was supposed
to look like. My second thought was, why does Corgi let these
manufacturing flaws get by? My third thought was, I have to fix
it.
Plastic mechanic. After
pushing the gear outward so that it was close to the correct angle,
both legs broke off. I then trimmed and fit and super-glued the
legs back on. However, the glue overflowed into the gear well and
I scratched the underside of the wing with my X-acto knife. In the
end I had to buy another copy of the model. However, the gear on
the second model is almost as bad as the first, but I'm leaving
it as is.
See my tale about the wings
coming off in the 1/400 section.
