Tamiya 61111 Avro Lancaster B Mk III Sp
The Avro Lancaster was one of the RAF's main heavy bom bers during WWII. Among the many variants, the Mk.III "Dambuster" and Mk.I "Grand Slam Bom ber" were best known and the most famous. The "Dambuster" was modified to attack dams in Germany. It was equipped with special bouncing bom bs 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 bom b and its bom b bay doors and dorsal machine g uns 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
