Your cart is empty.Fantastic replica of the four engine Lancaster heavy bomber, the best Bristish bomber of WWII ! During WWII the Lancaster developed into one of the most powerful weapons of the allies. It was a further development of the 'Manchester' but constructed of metal. The first production aircraft took off in late 1941, carrying a total payload of over 27 tons, including more than 6 tons of bombs. Lancasters were mainly used for night attacks on german cities. They also sank the Garmen battleship Tirpitz and destroyed the Mohne and Eder dams.

This model is pretty neat. I'd never done a model before and completed construction and painting in about 24 hours. This is a skill level 5, which is the hardest level as stated on the box, which consists of over 150 pieces. They say that level 5 requires "a very high level of skill". My previous experience was putting together Ikea furniture. As long as you have patience, determination, and follow the directions, and are able to hold and piece together tiny pieces with glue (Some are as small as 1mm wide), then I think you should be fine. Requires glue, paint, paint thinner, paint brushes, knife to remove pieces, pliers/tweezers for handling small pieces, and a file/sand paper. Plane pieces are plastic and attached to a plastic sheet, and numbered on the sheet itself in a sort of random order though they do have reference pictures in the manual. The instruction booklet is in multiple languages, I found it helpful to highlight the English sections so that I could refer back to them as needed. They give you a colour index for what colour all of the pieces need to be. The instructions themselves are black and white. But steps are clear and labelled well. Final dimensions of the plane were 17 inches wing span, 12 inches long, and 3 inches tall. It comes with a bunch of tiny transfers to add the details on the plane afterwards. These include things like lines stating where to walk, and numbers/letters/shapes to go on the side of the plane. Several times the instructions give you the option to build "type A" or "type B", usually it's things like chair A, or chair B, window A or window B. But for the transfers, you can have WSOJ or HWOZ on the side of the plane. Overall quite pleased, though took longer than I originally was expecting. Would have also liked for it to come with paints/glue.

Cheap is a word I love to hear, but it is sadly becoming the fashion not to attach it to new model kits, that is why I am really quite chuffed with this Revell 1:72 Lancaster. I have the older BIII Airfix and the new Airfix BII so here is my verdict on this one. This is way better than the old work horse Airfix BIII but I think the new Airfix BII beats it in quality. This Revell kit is nearly £4 - £8 cheaper than the new Airfix BII and I have seen the older BIII sell second hand for between £9 - £13 so a little more gets you a great kit and a little less gets you a kit nearly as good, so this Revell offering is great middle of the road buy.Just received it today and couldn't wait to get it out of the box and have a look. Disappointed I was not as the surface detail is excellent and the parts all look to be well turned out. You get some interior detail on the cockpit and rear of the cockpit but not anything massively special like you would find inside a Trumpeter, Tamiya or Eduard kit so the Photo etched colour interior set mentioned already will be a must for this one, and I have just found and bought one as I type this. I have the idea of leaving the canopy unglued so as to reveal the inner detail.If there are any after market white metal landing gear sets out there, or any made for other Lancaster's, they would not go amiss as from seeing the mouldings they look very flimsy and I can believe they would bend under the weight of the kit. The decals sheet provides two sets of markings and all the other sub markings for her, and I love the two huge roundels. The instructions do look odd, in that there are multiple ways of doing constructing parts called out, but no reference as to which marque the choices reflect? There is one place I saw a marque difference called out and that was in the choices for the canopies sliding window sections.There is a lovely bomb bay set up and ordnance is provided in the form of whole cast bombs, no "moulded in two halves and glue together to leave a seam line" routine that seems to be so time consuming with filing and sanding that I usually avoid dealing with them, cast in one piece is so much better. The clear parts are nicely done if the frame work of the canopy seems a little thin so that will be a challenge to get right. A small amount of flash was present also on a few of the clear parts but this will be cleaned up in due course and is not a huge problem. The box is the usual side opener that is still not as good as the flip front or the top opener, and is a little flimsy so no stacking this one.Overall, I'm happy with this grand old lady of the skies, good detail, good looking aircraft. I will build the old Airfix 1:72 BIII firs I think for practice, then move onto this one.

Fantastic. Level 5 means high detail. This kit does not disappoint on any level.

wie alle neuen Modelle in 1:72 ein sehr gut gemachtes Teil:alle Teile sind in Plastiktüten verpackt, die Klarsichteile separat, es sollen ca. 300 Teile (ich hab nicht nachgezählt) sein,durch die vergleichsweise kleine, dünnhäutige und unpraktische Faltschachtel sind die Gussäste aber schon sehr beengt untergebracht und da viele kleine und auch dünne Teilchen dabei sind besteht die Gefahr von Schäden,aber wie in anderen Berichten kritisiert sind die dünnen Tragflächenspitzen bei mir nicht abgebrochen.Die Teile sind ordentlich detailliert, der Cockpitbereich nahezu perfekt nachgebildet, die Gravuren der Aussenhülle machen einen sehr guten Eindruck,nur die Bordwaffen, das sind kleine "Stäbe" ohne jeden Bezug zur Realität, das kann Revell normalerweise besser,die Bombenkörper (18, max. 16 werden benötigt) sind einteilig und der "Ring" ist verhältnismässig dick gegossen,2 (nur die inneren) gut wiedergegebene Motore sind ebenfalls dabei, wenn ich den Bauplan richtig gelesen habe, können Teile der Verkleidung ausgeschnitten werden und der Blick auf die Motoren ist möglich,1 Satz Propeller geht in die Restekiste,die Klarsichtteile ansprechend dünn und durchsichtig, es gibt zwei Kanzelarten für die Mark I oder III,die Abziehbilder sind wieder einmal reichlich und lassen zwei Versionen darstellen.Mir ist beim "Lesen" der Bauanleitung an einigen Stellen nicht sofort klar gewesen, wie die Teile oder Baugruppen zu verarbeiten sind, da kenne ich bessere Pläne von Revell.Für einen Anfänger ist der Bau eher weniger geeignet, aber in erfahrenen Händen ...
