Corgi Modelzone Avro Lancaster Phantom of the Ruhr 1/72 AA32614

Following major maintenance during the winter of 2006–2007, PA474 was repainted to commemorate the famous Lancaster B.III EE139, "Phantom of the Ruhr". The port side carried No. 100 Squadron code HW-R, while the starboard side represented its later service with No. 550 Squadron as BQ-B.

The original EE139 completed an exceptional 121 operational missions during the Second World War, making it one of the celebrated "ton-up" Lancasters. This substantial Corgi release was limited to only 1,350 models and was available exclusively through Modelzone.

The model features detailed crew positions, rotating propellers and gun turrets, interchangeable landing gear and a heavy-duty display stand. An impressive and increasingly difficult-to-find release for collectors of the Lancaster, BBMF and RAF Bomber Command.

As this is a pre-owned collectable, please study the photographs carefully. The photographs show the actual model offered for sale.
