Eduard 73687 Lancaster B Mk. I/B Mk. III interior 1/72 AIRFIX – photo-etched interior detail set

Eduard 73687 Lancaster B Mk. I/B Mk. III interior 1/72 AIRFIX is a high-quality photo-etched set designed for enhancing the interior detail of the legendary British bomber Avro Lancaster B Mk. I/B Mk. III in the 1/72 scale Airfix plastic model kit. This product is an excellent addition to the basic kit, allowing for a much more realistic and detailed final effect than using only the out-of-the-box parts.

Historical Information

The Avro Lancaster was one of the most important British strategic bombers of World War II. It entered service in 1942, with its main operator being the Royal Air Force and Allied air forces. The Lancaster was used in the most spectacular bombing raids, including the famous Operation Chastise (the bombing of the dams in the Ruhr Valley). It was also the basis for heavy carpet-bombing raids on industrial targets in Nazi Germany. Production and use of the Mk. I and Mk. III versions continued until the end of the war, and the bomber itself remained in service until the mid-1950s.
