## Description

Scheme 1: R5868 S-Sugar 467 Squadron RAAF Scheme 2: LM624 57 Squadron As the third of Britainrsquo;s four engined heavy bombers to enter RAF service during WWII, the Avro Lancaster proved to be an exceptional aircraft, possessing a large unobstructed bomb bay, which allowed it to carry some of the largest bombs of the war. At least thirty five Lancasters managed to complete an astonishing 100 missions or more and are referred to by historians and enthusiasts as the Lancaster Centurionsrsquo;, an exclusive group of extremely hard working bombers.

Review: Excelente modelo - Muy buen modelo. Ideal para principiantes y también avanzandos.
Review: Nice model - It's a great model, pieces fit nicely but it's a little too small for my big fingers. Would go with a bigger scale next time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great little kit
*by P***I on 8 September 2020*

this product was absoloutely great. There were no fit issues whatsoever, and the surface detail is great. The only thinh I'd change about the kit is the instructions, as they were a little confusing, but could still be easily followed. All in all, I have zero regrets with buying this model and might purchase it again.
