Corgi Releases New BF 109G-2 “Yellow 14” Die-Cast Display Model

Among the latest releases from Corgi is this die-cast display model of Messerschmitt Bf109G-2 (Trop) “Yellow 14,” flown by Hans Joachim Marseille of 3./JG27.

Regarded by many of his contemporaries as the most naturally gifted fighter pilot ever to take to the air, Hans Joachim Marseille would make the clear blue skies of North Africa his hunting ground and the Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter ‘Yellow 14’ his feared mount. Claiming 158 victories from 382 sorties flown, 151 of these were scored over the deserts of North Africa, making him the top scoring Luftwaffe ace in the Mediterranean theatre, gaining more victories against Western Allied airmen than any other pilot.

The model (AA27109) reportedly includes armament/weapons, a detailed crew figure, optional undercarriage down configuration and a rotatable propeller.

Fantasy of Flight owner Kermit Weeks has released his latest “Kermie Cam” video, this time focusing on his B-25J Mitchell “Apache Princess.”
