Re: lancasteh top turret

Not sure if you are into working with Vacuform products, but Falcon Industries puts out a canopy set for the Lancaster in 1/72nd scale for the Airfix Lancaster.
 

Brewster Buffalo, Hawk 75A, Fokker D.XXI, Polikarpov I-16, Fiat G.50, Macchi C. 200, PZL P.11c, Fieseler Fi 156 Storch ,,,, now those are real planes.

Re: lancasteh top turret

Hey mike. You will have to change the collar holding the turret too. I wanted to change out the turret on my 419 Sqn. one and while I was able to get a new "bubble" and gunner, Corgi was unable to outfit me with "collar". If someone had a busted up Lancaster they could cast a new collar, but that's a long shot.

You might want to give Squadron.com a shot as far as kits go.
