Corgi AA27901 McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 XT864/007R, No.892 NAS, HMS Ark Royal, November 1978. Other License Model, multi

I bought this Phantom almost immediately after I laid my eyes on the Corgi Lightning that was delivered. As soon as I see the quality of the Lightning, I just knew I’d have to have another Corgi plane! They may be expensive, but if I were to spend the same amount of money on a plastic kit and all the paints and airbrushing tools to try and get it looking as good as these, I’d never in a million years achieve the same quality. Also, contrary to what I’ve read on here a few times, the display stands are just fine for these model aircraft, if they’re displayed on a shelf or in a unit, there’s no reason for them not to be. If you’re a plane enthusiast, then these models are for you. And yes, I did buy some lights for the shelf to make them look like landing lights. 😂 🤦🏼‍♂️

The diecast is excellent, I would give it five stars ,if it wasn't for the stupid inadequate stand supplied. This lump of metal is heavy. A very accurate, detailed lump but I dare not contemplate displaying it in flight mode as the stand is more appropriate to a 1/72 model than this 1/48 model at twice the weight.The stands supplied with TSR2 and the 1/32 Mosquitos would be better.But Corgi have messed up with stands in past, the early Lightning stands were ok, but more recent ones are fragile and unusable.

Very disappointed. The package was split and the card to show the plane was authorized was missing. So can't prove the serial number. Av spent a small fortune on corgi aircraft models and now will have to go to another maker

I did not like the way it was sent, It was not wrapped or protected in any way the box can be as valuable as the model in side, it would taken 2 minutes to wrap it.

Just awesome.

Very good detail - especially the cockpit with the 2 crew men in it.

This kit is the business......just as you would expect.

supreme form, weight, finish, detail and care. beautiful.
