Limited Edition
201 of 1604
Pieces Worldwide

Description

A key participant in the Luftwaffe's first major airborne operation. This 1:72 scale diecast model represents the legendary Junkers Ju 52 "Iron Annie" during Operation Weserubung, the invasion of Norway in April 1940. Assigned to III./Transportfliegerchef, this aircraft was part of a massive transport fleet that deployed roughly 16,000 German soldiers onto Norwegian soil. The Ju 52 was the backbone of German tactical mobility, famously recognized by its corrugated duralumin skin and distinctive toed-out wing-mounted engines, providing essential troop and supply transport throughout the campaign.

This Corgi Aviation Archive release is a fantastic addition to any collection focusing on the early war period or Blitzkrieg tactics. Ideal for display on its sturdy metal stand, the model captures the unique texture of the corrugated metal finish and includes a 360-degree rotating dorsal gunner station, making it a standout subject for enthusiasts of WWII German aviation.
