We weren't sure this one was real, but a little birdie tells us this is the real deal. Border Models is pushing through with the moulds and new parts to make the B.MK.III Lancaster of the Dambusters raids in 1/32nd scale. We try to tell you more in our preview...

1/32nd scale Lancaster B.Mk.III Dambusters kit from Border model on approach....

Avro Lancaster B.MK.III

From Border Model

Kit No #BF011

1/32nd scale

Schems and release date to be confirmed

It is well documented that Border Model released their version of the ex-WNW Lancaster B.MkI/III kit last year to polarizing (it seems to us) response from modellers. What does matter to us right now is this  image arriving on our virtual desks today - showing a new variant of the Lancaster, the specialized "Dambusters" variant of the B.Mk.III in 1/32nd scale.

What do we know about this kit - well the artwork for one is from Mark Postlethwaite's painting that he made specifically for the WNW  kit as the box art cover showing Hopgood's Lancaster Type 464 on fire after crossing the dam's threshold.
