Vintage 40’s Post WWII Folk Art Lancaster Plane Model

40’s post WWII folk art Lancaster model

This handmade model has an unique story! It has actually been made by a RAF pilot veteran who made this piece as a gift for the Dutch family that made him hide inside their home for the Nazi enemies after he crashed done during the war!

Despite the fact that the piece is very naively made, it seems very realistic and shows the typical characteristics of the Lancaster bomber plane!
It’s a very special piece that comes with an even more special story and would fit perfectly decorating a man cave, boys room or any RAF/WWII collection!

After almost 80 years the piece shows signs of wear like the tiny cracks in the paint. The patina it got due to time only adds to it characteristic charm! Sadly some of the tiny propellers broke of or went missing.
