A-Model 01462 Avro 691 Lancastrian 1/144 – plastic model kit

The A-Model 01462 Avro 691 Lancastrian 1/144 scale model is a unique plastic model kit representing the British passenger aircraft Avro 691 Lancastrian. This model is designed for modelers looking for historical and less typical aircraft to build in a smaller scale. It is a faithful miniature of the aircraft created by converting the legendary Avro Lancaster bomber—one of the most important RAF machines of World War II.

The Avro 691 Lancastrian was developed in the UK directly after the end of World War II, during the postwar period. This aircraft was primarily used by British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) and the Royal Air Force, as well as the air forces of Australia and Argentina. It served from 1945 to 1952 as a passenger and transport aircraft. The Lancastrians were used, among other roles, on intercontinental routes for transporting diplomatic mail and VIPs, as well as during jet engine tests and high-altitude flights as part of the technological race of the Cold War. One of its most famous episodes was its participation in the first regular transatlantic flights combined with jet engine trials.
