Brand new for 2007, Corgi is pleased to bring you another dimension to our Aviation Collectibles range — Corgi Predators. Focusing on six of the most iconic aircraft military history has seen, these are the true predators of the skies.
Each model comes with a booklet detailing the story behind the pilot, mission or squadron, plus the box is packed with technical information about the plane. If you collect any 12 of the 18 releases in the Predators range, send in the tokens found in each pack for a free display wallet to keep the story booklets in.
Designed as a successor to the Soviet Union's family of early MiG jet fighters, the MiG-21 was first flown on February 14, 1955. This supersonic jet fighter was the first Soviet aircraft to successfully combine fighter and interceptor characteristics. Its delta wing design gave it the ability to climb quickly and its light loading further improved its performance, making it possible for a skilled pilot to successfully engage in dogfights with contemporary enemy fighters. Today, more than 50 years after its introduction, the MiG-21 still serves the air forces of many nations and has become the most-produced supersonic jet in history. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
