HK Models – Avro Lancaster MK.1
We are delighted to announce the highly anticipated HK Models ‘Avro Lancaster MK 1 S-Sugar’ will be arriving next week. Recently showcased on the Pocketbond stand at the 2018 Scale ModelWorld Exhibition in Telford, this product was the star of the show – drawing large crowds all throughout the weekend, ordering now is advisable as stocks are now limited.
Designed and built by AV Roe & Co, powered by four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, the LANCASTER began operations in March 1942 and with its superior speed, height and range was the most efficient RAF bomber of the Second World War.

The kit comprises 23 sprues plus port & starboard fuselage and nose section duplicated in transparent ‘crystal clear’ plastic, port & starboard wings with upper and lower wing surfaces moulded in one piece (pioneered with the Mosquito kit), photo-etch detail parts.

In production, the fuselage and nose section were injected without surface detail in crystal clear plastic first. The moulds were then modified with added surface detail; an irreversible change meaning the clear version can never be produced again.
