This event was made even more special with thefirst unveiling of the brand new tooling of the Lancaster.

Each individualkit has been created and put on display with the story and details relating to the individualaircraft and crew.

This commemoration to the Dambusters was on display in the main museum receptionand Airfix were proud that the launch of our new kit could be a part of it.
