Late last week, Corgi announced their Aviation Archive introductions for the balance of 2025. While there were no major surprises in the accompanying video, the lineup did include a pair of 1:48 scale World War I efforts, along with an all-new 1:72 scale Beaufighter and a 1:48 scale USMC Harrier jump jet that pays tribute to the Black Sheep squadron of WWII fame. Now that Hornby has indicated that they are shuttering its US Corgi operation, it is possible that these new aircraft models may appear from our US distributor in early 2026. The prices we are currently listing for these models do not reflect any tariffs being applied to product coming in from China so we may have to increase these prices shortly once our distributor has officially announced their addition to the Corgi range.
