****WORLD WAR II COLLECTION****

       Taking a magnifying glass to the incredible variety of armored vehicles, tanks and transporters which were used during the Second World War, Corgi are bringing to the collector a new level of detail and accuracy unseen before on diecast scale models of this era. The first range will concentrate on the World War in Europe and in order to bring this epic arena to life we have chosen to model some of the groundbreaking and iconic vehicles which were to bring such devastating effect to the six years of war that raged across all parts of the continent.
     Choosing to look at 3 of the main Theatres of War that dominated long stretches of the campaign, each develops a small collection of fighting vehicles and military transport. 'War Across The Western Front' depicts many of the key campaigns that dominated the see-saw struggle that was fought across France, Benelux and Scandanavia following the Normandy invasion in 1944. 'Operation Barbarossa' was the code name given by the German forces for their push to the East and the invasion of Russia and finally 'The Race to Messina and Beyond' looks at the Allied push into Italy and particularly the race to capture Sicily.
      In order to capture the essence of these campaigns it was important to invest in new models, which played important parts in the direction of both these battles as well as the War as a whole. These first choices include the Panzer V Panther (A and D), the Churchill III and IV Infantry Tank, the SdKfz 7 Krauss-Maffei Semi Track and the Bedford QL Series Truck as well as several new versions of the Sherman Tank and the T34 Tank. This will be the start of an exciting range that will grow and evolve to become another classic Corgi Collection.
     The World War II Collection will become a mark of the highest caliber and this first 2003 range sets an exciting level of excellence. The meticulous attention to detail features working aspects to the models where appropriate, highly specific livery details, realistic look weathering and battle scarring, and in some instances unique and innovative features of the vehicles are also included. Each Limited Edition model has a numbered certificate and all models are presented in superb display packaging.
