Description

A veteran of electronic warfare and 60 operational sorties. This 1:72 scale diecast model recreates the Short Stirling B.Mk III LJ542 "Gremlin Teaser," serving with RAF No.199 Squadron at RAF North Creake in 1944. During the lead-up to D-Day, this aircraft was tasked with vital electronic countermeasure missions designed to confuse enemy radar and defenses. "Gremlin Teaser" was distinguished by its unusually elaborate nose art, featuring an angelic pin-up figure—a rare and striking feature for a British heavy bomber of the period.

This Corgi Aviation Archive Collector Series release is a highly detailed tribute to the RAF's first four-engine heavy bomber. The model captures the Stirling's massive, imperious stature and unique high-riding landing gear. Featuring rotating turrets, a detailed cockpit, and configurable bomb-bay compartments, it stands as a premier centerpiece for collectors of WWII Bomber Command and specialized electronic warfare history.
