Originally expected last fall, the balance of Corgi’s Military Legends line of 1:50 scale military vehicles are finally en route to us. Interestingly, Corgi quietly updated two of the product photos – one for the US M3A1 half-track and the other for the Sherman tank. The revised half-track now features bed rolls attached to the front fenders of the vehicle, a gear rack affixed to the rear of the vehicle, and a dustier paint job, giving it a more grizzled, well-worn appearance better suited to a hard-fought WWII battlefield than its predecessor. The Sherman tank, on the other hand, has been completely overhauled. We were expecting a standard M4A3 Sherman tank but it now appears as if we are getting a M4A3(76)W which featured a 76mm main gun and a more bulbous turret. Its not clear why the images were updated so late in the production cycle, but both will certainly sell well despite the mix up.

Other vehicles en route to us include their Tiger I heavy tank, German Sd. Kfz. 7/1 prime mover and Bedford QL supply truck. We should have them in stock during the first week of February and will be completing all of our outbound shipments as soon as they arrive.
