The Lancaster Bomber is a magazine published by Hachette Partworks. It's a weekly magazine, with the main aim being to complete a 1/32 scale model of the Avro Lancaster Bomber, S for Sugar, which will take 125 issues. I would suggest that first time visitors read the 'Magazine' Page, then have a look at the model pages.

The magazine is published every Wednesday in the UK.

The model can only be built as a static model. It cannot be converted to a flying model.

Please note that this site has no connection with Hachette Publications.
