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.

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.
