Help Us Track An Alleged Fraudulent Order Involving This Model

As a small, independent business, we’ve always tried to be open with our community, so we wanted to share something that’s happened recently.

We received what looked like a genuine large order for eight of the following model:

Corgi 2024 Panavia Tornado GR.1, ZD748/AK “Johnnie Walker – Still Going Strong”, RAF No. 9 Squadron, Scale 1/72, AA29401.

The order was processed and the models were shipped within the UK, but it has since become clear that we were the victims of a fraudulent transaction. As a result, we’ve lost both the stock and the payment – a big hit for a small specialist retailer like us.

We’re sharing this not for sympathy, but to raise awareness and to ask for your help:

Have You Seen This Model Being Resold?

? Have you seen this exact model being offered for sale recently at a much lower price than usual (for example, on marketplaces, social media, or auction sites)?

If you spot anything that looks suspicious – especially someone selling multiple copies – we’d really appreciate it if you could:

• Take a screenshot
• Copy the link
• Send it to us via direct message or email below

Please don’t contact the seller directly on our behalf – just let us know so we can pass details to the appropriate platforms and, if needed, Action Fraud.

Being part of a niche aviation and model-collecting community has always meant a lot to us. Your support – whether by sharing this post, keeping an eye out, or just continuing to shop with small businesses – genuinely makes a difference.

Thank you for reading, and for helping us keep this hobby – and the people in it – that little bit safer. ✈️

Direct email, please, to webmaster@airspotters.com
