Lancaster B.III Dambusters

Large plastic sections of this aircraft are a wee bit flimsy but the fit is very good. The real hassle with this model is the wheel assembly (like trying to glue toothpicks together). Instructions are a bit confusing (says to glue clear parts on then paint--I painted the aircraft first then did the clear parts). The plane is really nice when completed; fits right in with other WWII same scale bombers. Fairly large aircraft.

First of all, I'd like to know why did someone posted pics of a shakleton on a lancaster review page... It is... Dumb or fraud to get points. It is not one or two, but several. So, I wouldn't say distraction but intention. So, for all of you, the pics it is not from a modifyed product, but of a totally different product. The shackleton was an old mould of a sub hunter airplane, while the lancaster was a night bomber, or modified to launch a depth charge to take down the dams... About this model kit: Some of you may remember a lancaster from Revell in the eighties... Well, this has nothing to do with it. The old one had raised panel lines, rough interior, and this one has a nice recessed panel lines and good interior. It is from 2007, which is nice. It has something I allways enjoy: you may put the engine cowlings out and leave the engine visible. When comparing it with the new Airfix Dambuster, I can only say to compare the price... In small details and precision, Airfix can be superior. But unless you take a magnifying glass to paint and to inspect, or if you have miopia and look at it really close, they will be very similar.

this kit built up into a nice ceiling hanger. it fits together pretty well, it is however a little over flashed. it builds up pretty big so I hung it up.
