Hong Kong Models Reveals Tooling Samples for Upcoming 1/32 Avro Lancaster

Hong Kong Models has released photos of the tooling samples for their highly anticipated 1/32 Avro Lancaster.

As the Lancaster has “a very complicated shape” and “tons of exterior and internal detail,” the project has been underway for some time and seen continual CAD modifications.
