Tamiya Avro Lancaster B MkI/III (1:48 Scale)

A landmark of WWII aviation, the Avro Lancaster B Mk. I/III is recreated here as a 1/48 scale plastic static model kit from Tamiya. Used by the English Royal Air Force in bombing raids against Germany, the aircraft was also known as the “Grand Slam Bomber” and was powered by four Rolls Royce Merlin engines. This assembly kit is engineered to capture the Lancaster’s distinctive presence with a high-detail finish across key areas, and includes multiple options to reproduce early to late types of the Mk. I and Mk. III variants.

With selectable open or closed bomb bay, included ordnance and crew figures, it offers a rewarding build for adult constructors who enjoy historically grounded aircraft projects. Four kinds of markings are supplied to complete the model with your chosen scheme.
