Building The Airfix Avro Lancaster In White! B Mk.i Airfix 1:72 

A short build video of Avro Lancaster B.1(F.E.)/B.III Airfix No. A08013 1:72 in Tiger Force white markings
This was a disappointing kit for me made by Airfix, and the tool is still in production with lots of inaccuracies with regards to the kit; the panel line placement is massively wrong, not to mention warping of parts; I believe the upper wing roundals are oversized; the black wing stripes don't go to the roundal on the decal placement (this is because the roundals are oversized and wouldn't fit on the wing if placed in their correct position); and the instructions don't say to blank off the fuselage windows when making the Tiger Force version.
That all said, once built and finished, I'm pleased with my plane, but it frustrates me to see other people's versions where they have followed the instructions in good faith and produced a plane that looks nothing like the box art.
