Information

This exceptional CORGI Aviation Archive 1:32 scale diecast model honours the legendary Hans Joachim Marseille, one of the Luftwaffe's most naturally gifted fighter pilots of the Second World War.

Ready to display straight from the box, this meticulously crafted collectible captures the iconic Messerschmitt Bf 109F-4 (Trop) in authentic desert theatre markings, commemorating the aircraft flown by the 'Star of Africa' during his remarkable combat career.

With precision detailing throughout, including rotating propeller and visible gun bay, this model brings history to life for the discerning aviation collector.

Of the 130 most successful air aces in history, all but one flew with the Luftwaffe during the Second World War, with an incredible 107 achieving 100 or more aerial victories. Among this elite group, one name stands above the rest according to his peers: Hans Joachim Marseille. Despite a troubled start to his career, marked by disciplinary issues and a playboy reputation, Marseille would become the highest scoring Luftwaffe ace not having fought on the Eastern Front.

Deployed to North Africa, Marseille flourished under fighter leader Eduard Neumann, who recognised exceptional talent in the young pilot. With the desert offering none of his usual distractions, Marseille perfected the art of deflection shooting and became a master of aerial combat. His victory tally climbed rapidly, with multiple kills on single missions earning him the legendary title 'Star of Africa'.

The Messerschmitt Bf 109F 'Friedrich' was his favoured mount, which he regarded as the perfect fighting machine. Between 24th August and 25th September 1942, he scored at least 49 victories in this aircraft type, including an extraordinary 17 kills in a single day, a feat that remains unmatched in aerial warfare history.
