Corgi Showcase Collection

When America's World War II fly boys took to the skies over Europe and the Pacific, they didn't travel alone. They were accompanied by the images of movie stars, pinup queens, cartoon characters and the girls they left behind. Colorful and skillfully rendered, these paintings - known as "Nose Art" because of their typical placement near the nose of the aircraft -- brought a personal touch to some of the greatest aircraft of the era.

Now, Corgi USA remembers this unique artwork with an all-new scale Aviation Archive replicas featuring legendary nose art. The artwork appears not only on the plane replica, but also on a larger scale cut-out section (approx 3" x 2") of the fuselage, which can be displayed on a stand-alone base along with the model aircraft.
