Which Corgi 1/72 Lancaster is your favorite and why? Are there any that are simply junk and why? I don't know much about them but plan to settle on one for my collection but I would like to hear your opinions.

There's not many left to be had. I'd have to say "Dam Busters" and "Grand Slam" are must have versions.

My two favorites are S for Sugar and G for George. To this day, I still kick myself for not buying at least one when I had the chance!

At the time, I wasn't into Corgi and $130 seemed like a lot of cash for just one plane. Live and learn.

I still hold out hope that Corgi puts another standard version out there some day. Not too intertested in the specials.

Must agree with Mr Raven, Sugar and George are my fav's as well.

The Lancaster is the one iconic 'heavy' that I'm still trying to add to my collection (every time I think I've found one, someone else with deeper pockets seems to nab it right out from under me ).

G for George would definitely be my first choice although I may eventually settle for the RCAF Rescue version as it also seems pretty cool (and not as pricey).

I would have a favorite if I could buy one for a decent price.........speaking of..............why doesn't Corgi make more I'm talking about a standard run of the mill bomber not a special version.

I couldn't agree more with you Planenuts - bring it on Corgi, a NEW Lancaster without the Sights 'n Sounds ...

Ditto. I recently started looking for the "Dambuster" or the "Grand Slam". That's what I'll pick up if I can catch one.

For me it was S for Sugar as this was the plane that started me on my diecast crusade.

Such a lovely looking plane and was a bargain at the time of £30=$65

Would kill to now get one at that price

I've got the grand slam Lanc and I like it pretty well...I would like it even better if it was an easter egg one
