Airfix will be re-releasing its 1/72 scale Hercules powered Avro Lancaster BII during the Autumn 2020 with four marking options this time

Due to shortage of Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, some 300 Lancasters were built with Bristol Hercules radial engines, becoming the BII Variant. Some were also fitted with enlarged bomb-bay doors to enable large 8000lb bombs to be carried, as well as a ventral defensive turret.

The two marking options are the two which featured in the kits original release in 2013:

Z- Zombie, No.408 [Goose] Squadron, 6 Group, RCAF, RAF Linton-On-Ouse, Yorkshire, July 1944
‘Fanny Ferkin II’, No 514 Squadron, 3 Group RAF, RAF Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire, November 1944

A08001 - Avro Lancaster BII – 1/72
