discussion Best 1/72 Avro Lancaster kit ?

[Alan 45]

I've been thinking of doing my own BBMF kit as the airfix one has two spitfires and it's always been a lanc a hurry and a spit , now the airfix spit and hurry are great new tools so I'll go with those for that but the lanc is another matter , I built the G for Greoge lanc for my son a few years ago as that's his favourite aircraft and it's not a bad kit but I wondered if there was a better one out there to have a crack at

The new tool Airfix one. The panel lines are quite trench like, but apart from that, it is pretty good.

Cheers John I didn't know they did a new tool , good thing about this is there is no need for wear and tear so it just a paint and drop dio

Thanks for the info mate

I couldn't tell you Mike I have only built the old one but if it's new tool it will be good , airfix have really gone out of there way to to give us better kits , I for one love the deeper panel lines as a brush painter it's our chance to make a kit look as good as a spray job

The B-III Lanc from AF is supposed to be a good one Al, some nice detailing.
