Description

The Avro Lancaster was one of the RAF's main heavy bombers during WWII. Among
the many variants, the Mk.III "Dambuster" and Mk.I "Grand Slam Bomber" were best
known and the most famous. The "Dambuster" was modified to attack dams in
Germany. It was equipped with special bouncing bombs which would skip across the
water to the dam wall and explode below the surface of water to inflict
structural damage. The "Grand Slam Bomber" was designed to carry the 10-ton
Grand Slam earthquake bomb and its bomb bay doors and dorsal machine guns were
removed to reduce weight in order to do so. These Lancaster's used the Grand
Slam on such important targets such as U-boat bases and rocket manufacturing
sites. The Tamiya model faithfully captures all the detail of this historic and
famous WWII aircraft in 1/48 scale
