The Avro Lancaster was one of the finest bombers of WW2, born out of the failure of the Avro Manchester, the Lancaster became the mainstay of RAF Bomber Command, with it's superb handling, good looks and ability to absorb heavy punishment, the Lancaster was loved by it's crews. On the 16th May 1943, the Lancaster's of 617 Squadron took off from England to execute Operation Chastise and attack the Great Dams of the Rhur Valley, within days of the raid, the Lancaster and crews of 617 Squadron became household names, this was the first of many Special Raids made by the Lancaster. It was the only Allied aircraft capable of carrying special bombs like Upkeep, Tall Boy and Grandslam, ironically the Lancaster is associated with area bombing but became a legend because of these daring pinpoint accuracy raids, including the sinking of the battleship Tirpitz.

This superb Lancaster is a high detail scale model and wears the colour scheme of "Phantom of the Rhur" which is the scheme currently used on the BBMF Lancaster, one of only two examples left flying in the world. Made from tough EPO foam, this amazing plug and fly model is a nice size and is perfect for transportation, especially as it has plug in wings, yet it's large enough to have presence. All servos, motors and ESC's are pre-installed, making assembly straightforward. There is tons of scale detail to admire, the panel lines, glazing, .303 machine guns, scale 3 blade props (which are counter rotating for smooth flight and take off), spinners, the molded cowls, the list goes on, this does make the Lancaster more involved in terms of build, but all the more satisfying!

The Lancaster also has plenty of working features, the scale undercarriage is retracting and is linked to a sequencer to operate the gear doors, even the tailwheel is scale. The bomb bay doors are servo operated and the Lanc even comes with some bombs to drop, including a massive Grandslam bomb! With all these features and servo's, the model needs a reliable RX power source and comes supplied with a 1600mAh 4.8v RX pack. With it's practicality, stunning scale detail, superb flying characteristics and amazing features, this Lancaster is a must for any scale and warbird enthusiast!
