Compare this price with any other Avro Lancaster British bomber model kit. There were 7377 of these aircraft built from January 1941 until February 1946. Less than 20 of these were designed to destroy hydroelectric dams in Germany. This is THE collectors kit. It is one out of 7377 Lancasters built to carry the Bouncing Bomb to the brink of the dams. The redesigned under fuselages accommodated the warhead which was placed into a counter-spin by motors belt connected to the bombs. This mechanism prevented the bombs from bouncing disastrously into the aft section of the airframe, and also caused the bomb to sink upon contact with the dam before detonation. This kit truly is skill level 5. One gets a fully detailed cockpit and navigator/radio operator cabin with the kit. Wonderfully one also receives two 1640-horse power Rolls-Royce Merlin 24 inline piston engines with engine mounts to locate into two of the four nacelles. Landing gear and cubbies are detailed. The most difficult part of assembly was painting the camouflage design around the decommissioned passenger portholes.
