Corgi CC01001 Stingray Model Vehicle - Diecast Planes & Aircraft Models for Adults, Die Cast Plane, Toy Airplanes - Gift for Young Aviation Fans, Birthday Gifts for Him

What a little beaut of a stingray this is. I would i killed to have one of these back in the 60's.It's about 5/6 inches long, but has quite a weighty feel to it. Metal body, only plastic is the windows and propeller.The paint job is glorious.Missiles work fine, but as mine is for display so they go back in the box.Stand is a little flimsy and a tad awkward to fit and get good pose.Next to my product enterprise stingray it does look small.But ya know what? This is the best stingray in years, and at th8s price excellent value. In a couple of years you will see it's price go up.So get one now...

🐟 I must admit that I always wanted to start a small collection of models from the sows that were dear to me when I was young, and some of these more modern versions are certainly a lot less expensive than the originals. I don’t intend to keep it out of the box, as the box art and the whole presentation of the model are part of its charm.🧜 The Stingray submarine is relatively small, about the size of my hand, but well secured in the box in a display pose, so I can look at it without it becoming dusty on a shelf somewhere. The dimensions all look reasonable given my recollection of the original, and the colours are good too, with a glossy finish. A stand is included inside the box, and all the model features are there, including the transparent EVA pods on the side, missiles, and distinctive fins and engine. There is no interior detail. The internal box art shows an underwater scene for display.🔱 The missile mechanism is a little fiddly and toy-like, and the missiles don’t sit well inside the launchers. You only get two, so there is no spare. These are fired from a button underneath. There are many other details that either represent details from the original show model, such as a representation of the skids underneath, or the pods under the wings that I had not noticed before, even having watched Stingray hundreds of times as a kid.🌿 It’s a great model, and I can only wish for a matching Aquaphibian Terror Fish from the same stable. Recommended. ✔️

Quality product, speedily delivered. Thankyou

Being a lifetime fan of Gerry Anderson, I'm almost always interested in merchandise, particularly the vehicles and die cast models.I was aware that reviews were less than glowing of this particular Corgi edition, but wanted to check it out for myself.I have to say I was definitely underwhelmed.The model is pretty small, albeit well constructed from die cast metal.The torpedo firing mechanism is frankly, pathetic..they just about manage to limp out of the silos!.Nice touch with the supplied stand and it displays reasonably well.That said, if you want a really excellent and faithful die cast of this model..save yer pennies and opt to buy the Product Enterprise edition..they're usually available to purchase second hand on ebay and marketplace..

Happy with it. Nice model

Lovely little toy

An excellent reproduction of the TV classic, wish I could have bought this in 1964 but none were available.

thankyou
