Corgi B.O.A.C Avro Lancastrian Scale 1/144 AA47402

Detailed Description

This Corgi AA47402 model represents the Avro Lancastrian operated by BOAC, one of the earliest long-range airliners of the post-war era. Based on the Avro Lancaster bomber, the Lancastrian replaced gun turrets with sleek fairings and a streamlined nose, creating a fast, high-altitude transport aircraft ideally suited to transatlantic and Empire routes.

BOAC operated the type from the mid-1940s, flying mail, freight, VIP passengers and supporting pioneering long-distance operations. The aircraft helped reopen global air travel after the war and played an important role in early intercontinental civil aviation.

• Corgi’s 1:144 die-cast model features:
• BOAC wartime/post-war markings
• Detailed four-engine layout
• Clean fuselage contours unique to the Lancastrian
• Fine printed windows and panel lines
• A collector display stand
• A superb addition for collectors of early BOAC, post-war British aviation, and Lancaster-derived aircraft.
