Well spotted George ! yes this one was in fact converted from an Academy 1=144th scale kit of the Lancaster,I made up the tiny Vulture engines that so let this aircraft down.Note the dorsal fin which was an attempt to cure stability problems with the Manchester.
Amazing how a failure was turned into the Lancaster that served so well in service,Chadwick like Mitchell has never received the national honour these men of iron deserve.
