Avro Lancaster B. II, Airfix, 1/72 (2013)
« on: October 04, 2015, 10:25:48 AM »
Hello  :-salut :-salut

The "new tool" Airfix's Lancaster B. II. I always liked this version with its radial engines (Bristol Hercules VI or XVI). This version was a response to the foreseen shotage of Rolls Royce Merlin XX engines. 300 Lancaster B. II were built.
The kit is sound but long to build due to the numerous parts. Some tiny details are reproduced but, surprisingly, the navigation light must be scratch-built...  :-think
There are some errors in the building notice. Decals are of good quality and are better applied with decal softener as Tamiya's one.

Great build, mate!

I'm quite partial to the B.II myself and always fancied modifying a Tamiya kit in 1/48.
