Archive. Birth
of the Cold War. This model was produced
for the US market in 2005. The build quality is excellent, with
the exception of some minor glue seepage here and there. The plastic
on the canopy is thicker than most Corgis, and much thicker than
same-scale Hobby Master offerings. The main landing gear is preassembled,
and fits perfectly, as does the nose gear. All-and-all, those busy
hands at the factory did good. One thing I've noticed about my personal
collecting tastes: They change! This is obvious when you compare
this Meteor review with my last
one. Now that Corgi is releasing fewer models per month, I find
myself eagerly searching out older releases, particularly early
jets, models in which I had only a passing interest before. |
