DESCRIPTION
Avro Lancaster B.Mk.I/III - Border BF010
The Avro Lancaster was the most significant 4-engined RAF heavy bomber in the Second World War. Starting in 1942 Lancaster carried the night bombing offensives deep into Germany and set its place in history with the sinking of the Tirpitz and the destruction of the Eder and Möhne dams. The Lancaster was able to haul bomb payload up to 9980 kg. It served in 68 RAF squadrons and completed over 156000 missions. Based on the former Wingnut Wings design this 1/32 Avro Lancaster w/full Interior was acquired by Border and is now being prepared for release. Mr. Mark Postlethwaite, the artist for the original Wingnut Wings kit has given Border the right to use his painting for the box art. This kit will only be produced in limited quantities, as it is going to be made in one product run!
