This is the re-issue of the Tamiya 1/48 Lancaster with new markings and the option of the FN-82 rear turret allowing you to build this version; TW880, No.35 Squadron, Lancaster B Mk.I (FE). As I understand it, Lancasters serving in the Far East were painted white to keep the air frames cooler in the hot climate and to improve paint durability. (but I could be wrong).
No comments on the build it was the same as it was 20+ years ago. The white is a mix of white, flat earth & grey, the night black is Semi-gloss black and a little hull red. Tamiya "AS" lacquer paints decanted and airbushed.
