Limited Edition of 1200 Models Worldwide

I./KG 77 operated Ju 88s with a distinctive and elaborate swirl camouflage paint scheme on the bottom of their aircraft, hoping to make them less conspicuous from the air. The torpedoes they carried proved to be devastatingly effective against the thinly hulled Allied merchant ships they encountered during their patrols.

The Junkers Ju88 was a German twin-engine multi-role aircraft operated by the Luftwaffe during World War II. Designed in the mid-1930s, it became one of the most versatile combat aircraft of the war and proved to be suited for almost any role. First flown on December 21 1936, the Ju 88 entered operational service in 1939. It was used successfully as a fighter-bomber, dive bomber torpedo bomber, heavy fighter, night fighter, reconnaissance aircraft, and even as a flying bomb during the closing stages of the war. The Ju 88 was produced until 1945, with more than 16,000 built in dozens of variants, more than any other twin-engine German aircraft of the period.


The Corgi Aviation Archive features a wide selection of high quality, ready-made, diecast model airplanes. Each model is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, using specifications of the original aircraft. Corgi models are built with diecast metal and some plastic components.
