Lancaster kits are all getting a bit long-in-the-tooth, for example the good ol' Revell 1/72.
Best currently out there is the Airfix 2nd casting, available as BI, Dambuster or Grand Slam.
Probably best of them all, but currently out of production ( so it's e-bay only, I'm afraid  ) is the huge Tamiya 1/48 B1 or BIII Dambuster. Still a great model.
Ironically, as these kit castings are all so old, possibly the best Lancaster model currently on the market is the award-winning Corgi die-cast 1/72 ; but I'm not sure which is heavier, the model or the price !

Ross :
the term "Fatty" sure fits well. Think I'll make a colour copy of just him so I can pin it up in my office and throw darts at him when I am bored.
cheers mate ! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Erich - i quite agree. It is a lovely figure i am surely tempted to have a 'fatty' in my collection. What would be nice is a good figure of Galland as well.

Ross I'll take a Krupinski, Galland , Hartmann, Schnaufer or any other working ace over FAT MAN any day  Although they have done a true rendition of the man during the later part of the war, even the tired and over burndened look on the figures face..........
