I think I know the answer to this question already, but thought I'd ask?

While getting together the info for my Lincoln repaints I thought it might be nice to have a 'Tiger Force' Lancaster in my line up; but as far as I can tell nobody does the Mk VII Lancaster, so this would restrict the options somewhat - unless I've missed something. Any thoughts?

Wikipedia:

"The B VII was the final production version of the Lancaster. The Martin 250CE mid-upper turret was re-positioned slightly further forward than on previous Marks, and the Nash & Thomson FN-82 tail turret with twin 0.50 in (12.7 mm) Browning machine guns replaced the FN.20 turret with four 0.303 in (7.7 mm) Browning machine guns."

Otherwise pretty similar externally to the BI or BIII, apart, obviously, from colours and markings.

I think it's the closest I'll get, thanks for the pointer Jamie.
