It's late 1945, and the Manhattan project has hit a few snags. The Allies are preparing to invade Japan in 1946, and the Canadian No. 6 Group is moving to the Pacific Theatre. But, they're not using Avro Lancasters! Instead, they have re-equipped with this!

419 Squadron RCAF has received some of the first Avro Lincoln B.15's from the Victory Aircraft production line. This is the 5th one.
As a memorial to Andrew Mynarski, VC, they give the name A for Andy to the first Lincoln on the squadron, FM304

The model is the 1980 vintage Airfix Lancaster with a resin conversion nose and wing tips. the very early Lincolns had Martin upper turrets and FN rear turrets of the Lancaster B.7 type. That is the version I chose. Thanks for looking!
