by Richard A. Franks
ISBN: 978-1-912932-17-7

Part One covers the Avro Manchester and Lancaster B Mk I, II, III & VI in RAF service in WW2

The Lancaster has been a popular aircraft type with modellers and has recently been the subject of several new toolings in all scales, especially in 1/32nd and 1/48th. Our latest book goes some way towards unpicking the different variants and detail differences that apply to the type.

This book in our much-acclaimed series contains at least 272 pages packed with vital information that no active modeller and RAF Bomber Command enthusiast should be without.

• 60+ pages of technical information
• 60+ pages of walk-around images and technical diagrams
