Corgi Aviation Archive AA32609E Avro Lancaster B1(Special). 617 Sqdn. RAF. YZ-T  Serial PD113 with Grand Slam Bomb. 1945                    Modified special EASTER EGG EDITION by Corgi. Only 300 of these were issued to dealers only. I recently acquired a collection of  NEW, never been out of the box,  Corgi aircraft models from the personal collection of a retired model shop owner. This gentleman stored away the models which he felt were special and would become classics of the future. Many issues were duplicated and I shall be making these unique models available to other collectors over the next few months. This model was released by in Feb.2005 as an incentive to Corgi dealers to improve sales. For every four of the standard edition AA32609 Lancasters  purchased (YZ-S) one of these special editions, which had a changed squadron code (YZ-T) and consecutive serial number, was available. Corgi, in their wisdom, named this "The Easter Egg Special Edition" and provided the most "naff" certificate imaginable and added a small Easter egg motif on the box which was otherwise the standard box of the normal edition AA32609. Nevertheless this is the lowest run of Lancasters  ever produced by Corgi and it is therefore very rare and much sought after by collectors. The model is finished in the night camouflage scheme of No 617 Squadron RAF "The Dam Busters" with very striking markings in the fuselage and tailplane. It features a heavily cut away fuselage with underslung 22,000lb "Grand Slam" bomb and removed gun turrets. The bomb was designed by Barnes Wallis and 617 Squadron used the weapon very effectively on many daylight raids, the most important and legendary one being the sinking of the mighty German warship "Tirpitz" in a Norwegian Fiord. This model is New, and in Mint condition, as is the internal carton and the box is virtually mint. All the ancillary parts are still sealed. It is number 204  of the limited edition of 300. It was only taken out of the box to check for quality prior to this listing .                                                                                                         You will not find a finer example than this. It will be wrapped in bubble wrap and packed in an outer cardboard box to ensure that it arrives with you in pristine condition. This model should be in the collection of every Lancaster aficionado. Buy with confidence, I have a 100% feedback record for selling over 200 quality models,packaging and communications.
