Anyone have one of the Corgi 72nd scale Avro Lancaster model? I am thinking of getting one. I have only seen pictures of them, but they look great.

SKYRAIDER:
I have two: the Dambuster/Les Knight and the 44 Squadron/Nettleton.
The Corgi Lancaster is a pretty good Corgi model. They are fairly heavy.

Some of these Lancasters are highly sought after,and go for some serious money.
But you can find some of the less popular ones for a decent price.And basically,they just have different squadron lettering on the aircraft.

The RCAF Rescue Unit is pretty unique,but it is not a WWII bomber.And because of this ,it is one of the cheapest.
Personally,skyraider,I would go for one of the "Dambusters" versions.if it was your first Lancaster.One of the most famous bombing missions of the war,and it comes with the "bouncing bomb"
Just my opinion.
