Corgi Aviation Archive — Avro Lancaster B Mk.I (Special) W4964 (AA32619)

This model appears to have the wrong propeller blades attached. We have enclosed a set of correct blades, as we were not sure, to be honest. You would have to swap them over, which is not too difficult with basic modelling skills.

Product Overview

This premium 1/72 scale diecast replica commemorates one of the most famous heavy bombers of World War II: the Avro Lancaster B Mk. I (Special), serial W4964 / WS-J, affectionately named "Johnny Walker" (featuring the iconic "Still Going Strong" nose art).

Operated by the RAF's historic No. 9 Squadron, this specific aircraft participated in Operation Catechism on November 12, 1944—the legendary raid at Lossiemouth that successfully capsized and sank the German battleship Tirpitz. W4964 carried the massive 12,000lb "Tallboy" deep-penetration bomb, with the Tirpitz raid marking the aircraft's milestone 100th sortie out of its eventual 102 total missions.
