Will leave same comment in this Lanc thread:

Cant say really why, but the Lanc is my favourite 4 eng WWII bomber, just love it!
The Tamiya 1/48 Avro Lancaster B Mk.I/III is on my shopping list...

Good choice, will be watching this build for sure!
Good luck with the build! :th:

I am interested in the differences as well between ours.

I know my kit cost me AUD$50. Which is about 3 Euros. Well, a bit more I guess, but not that much more -_-

Comes to about $43 American.

Yours looked like it has more detail than mine too. And extra added goat fat for release agent.

:shock:

Is that really true?

It wouldn't be a proper bomber group build without at least a few Lancs.

Here is an awesome documentary with Martin Shaw on the Dambuster raids. Thank you MsGreenHart for your upload to YouTube.
