The Corgi Vintage Glory range of 1:50 scale diecast models by Corgi are based on a collection of nostalgic vehicles from yesteryear, in the bygone days of steam transport.
This range of 1:50 scale diecast models includes steam engines built by legendary names such as Burrell, Foden and Fowler and Garrett.
These models are all limited edition models and as such they all come complete with a limited edition card which includes a photo of the model, a description and brief history of the model and also the ltd edition number of the individual model and of how many were made.
They are all supplied in quality packaging with a photo on the box.
Corgi Aviation Archive
The Corgi Aviation Archive range of diecast models is known worldwide for its high level of historical accuracy and extremely high level of detail in each and every model.
As with the Hauliers of Renown, most of these aviation models are released as limited edition models, so they too include a limited edition collector card, which includes a photo of the model, a detailed description of the model and its place in history, and also the spec, such as the sizes of the plane/helicopter it is modelled on, number of crew, maximum speed and service ceiling.
The range of models covered by the Corgi Aviation Archive banner are extensive, they include the following:
World War I Knights of the Air Biplanes
The Interwar Years
World War II Planes
Post War and Modern Military
Helicopters
Aerobatic Teams
Civilian Planes
The Corgi Aviation Archive diecast models are available in scales from 1:144 through to 1:32 scale.
Corgi Hauliers of Renown
The flagship of the corgi range of transport models, these 1:50 scale diecast models are highly detailed models of the trucks from the UK’s most famous haulage companies
Each model is in 1:50 scale and diecast to the highest standards. They are mainly all limited editions of 600 – 2000 worldwide. There are small number of Special Edition model trucks as well, which are not limited in products, but are usually very popular models. All of the Corgi model trucks that are limited edition include a quality limited edition certificate of credit card size, detailing the amount of models available and also the individual truck number in that limited edition run. The certificate also contains the image of the model truck and also a description and background of the truck company.
The scale model trucks come securely packed in their own presentation box. Most of the model trucks have various extras fitted, such as High and Low Light Bars, Aerials, Mirrors, Mud-flaps, Visor Mirror, Bumper Bars and Vinyl Curtain Sides.
Not all models contain all of these and Corgi are constantly updating their range and adding new extras.
