Corgi 32nd scale Mosquito opinions wanted

Post by Sabrefan » Mon Feb 25, 2008 9:57 pm

I am looking at getting a 32nd scale Corgi Mosquito. These are kind of pricy, and I would like some opinions of this model from you guys. Thanks. :D

I had the Moncton Mossie for a while and it is an awesome piece of diecast.. Very Big and Very Heavy!! If you get one, you won't be disappointed, but you will probably have a hard time finding somewhere to display it.. :wink:

Own one and wish I had all three versions. Very heavy and very big. As with all corgi, the paint looks a little too glossy. You won't be disappointed.

I collected a bunch of Corgi during my brief 1:72 infatuation and they were all super high quality pieces so I would imagine their 1:32 offerings are top notch.

I have been waiting for my budget to support one of these. Thing is though one Mosquito equals 8 1/32 birds or 2/3 1/18. Kind of hard to justify in these times of 1/32 plenty!

How much does the Corgi 32nd scale Mosquito weigh? I have heard it is quite heavy.

Sabrefan, you will love the Corgi Mosquito. I have three of them, and they are all quite nice. Yes they are heavy, but to me that only adds to their beauty.
