Here’s some additional information from the publisher…

The Lancaster has been a popular aircraft type with modellers and has recently been the subject of several new toolings in all scales, especially in 1/32nd and 1/48th. Our latest book goes some way towards unpicking the different variants and detail differences that apply to the type.
This book in our much-acclaimed series contains at least 272 pages packed with vital information that no active modeller and RAF Bomber Command enthusiast should be without.
The Avro Lancaster Part One covers the Avro Manchester and Lancaster in RAF service in WW2 and contains:

60+ pages of technical information
60+ pages of walk-around images and technical diagrams
10+ pages of camouflage and markings
25+ pages of model builds and modelling information
200+ photographs including wartime images
Colour side views and four-views by Richard J. Caruana
3D isometric views of all variants by Juraj Jankovic
Specially commissioned extensive full kit builds by Steve A. Evans
Specially commissioned front cover artwork by Jerry Boucher
Set of scale plans

The Avro Lancaster Part Two will cover post-war variants, use by foreign air forces, civilian types, both Lancaster and Lancastrian, and test-bed machines. This volume will publish later this year; full details of its contents will be announced in due course.
