Descriptionof Wingleader Modeller's Special. The Dambuster Lancaster. The Avro Lancaster Type 464 (Provisioning) in detail
-
Manufacturer
After the hardback book "Dambuster Lancaster" by Wingleader sold out a few years ago, the makers were inundated with enquiries as to when a new edition was planned. This was discussed with Piotr Forkasiewicz and Mark Postlethwaite, the authors of the book, and they felt that there were certain aspects of the book that could be updated and perhaps geared towards the modelling side, especially now that there were two 1/32 scale model kits on the market. So it was decided to commission a new book on the "Dambuster Lancaster", this time aimed solely at the modelling community. Bomber Command expert Peter Allam was invited to write it together with Piotr Forkasiewicz. It quickly became apparent that the 3D model needed to be heavily revised to include new information about the standard interior of the Lancaster (the old model had focussed almost exclusively on the Type 464 models). The planned schedule of three months was soon overturned and Piotr Forkasiewicz ended up having to recreate many parts of his 3D model from scratch, which took over 12 months in total. The end result is impressive. Piotr Forkasiewicz's 3D model of the Type 464 is undoubtedly the most accurate representation of a "Dambuster Lancaster" in the world today.
