Revell 04300 Avro Lancaster

The Avro Lancaster Bomber was first launched in 1941 and is a British heavy bomber. Heavy bombers are the most powerful military aircraft, capable of delivering the largest payloads over long distances. With such devastation en route to an enemy location, they were priority targets for defending fighter craft so came equipped with four machine gun turrets at various points on the craft. As the Second World War progressed, the Lancaster Bombers were the most heavily used bomber craft and eventually their defensive armaments were reduced to allow a greater flight speed.

This is a wonderfully detailed kit from Revell, with 257 pieces that come together to result in a fantastic model of one of the most famous classic aircraft of all time. The detail on the cockpit, weapons, bomb bay and canopy are all crystal clear and the kit comes with a paint chart so you can decorate it with accurate colours. The level of detail means it’s a more advanced kit, but an enthusiastic intermediate model builder could certainly pick it up.
