Description

A substantial 1:72 scale diecast representation of Grumman Avenger Mk I JZ159, coded 2F, of No.852 Naval Air Squadron, Fleet Air Arm, aboard HMS Nabob in 1944. Corgi PR99415 recreates a British-operated version of one of the most capable carrier aircraft of the Second World War.

Originally developed as a torpedo bomber for the United States Navy, the Avenger combined a powerful engine, three-man crew and a large internal weapons bay. Its strength and versatility also made it valuable to the Fleet Air Arm for maritime strike and anti-submarine operations.

Released through Corgi’s Predators programme and limited to 3,110 pieces worldwide, this model is particularly suited to collections focused on Fleet Air Arm aviation, escort carriers and wartime naval aircraft.

Grading

Grading Criteria

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.


Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.


Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.


Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.


Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.


Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.


Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.


Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.


If a separate accessory, stand, leaflet, certificate or optional part is missing, this will be mentioned in the listing notes. The model may still receive a high grade if the model itself remains in strong condition.
