Airfix Avro Lancaster B.II and WWII Airfield Resupply Set 1:72
Review by Dave Coward
Intro from Geoff
We’re really pleased to be able to bring you this build from Dave C that combines the best of 3 products: The new Airfix Avro Lancaster B.II or course with this manufacturer’s WWII Airfield re-supply set, plus the excellent card base from Noy’s Miniatures. I was pleased to see that a number of you had bought this base at last weekend’s IPMS Scale Model World Show at Telford, UK – thanks for stopping by and showing them to me.
Here is a photo of what the whole finished project looks like – impressive, isn’t it?

Summary
Although 1:72nd isn’t normally my `cup of tea` I really enjoyed this build and the supply set along with the base really sets off the model. The build is very straightforward and the kit is nicely detailed with good clear instructions and good decals. The B.II hasn’t been available in this scale as a mainstream model and Airfix has now filled this gap with an excellent kit that will go nicely with the more common Merlin B.I/B.III. The addition of the Bomber Supply Set is a real bonus and this again is well produced and will go with any bomber diorama. Overall Airfix have produced two little `gems` here and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
