The four-engined Avro Lancaster was without doubt the most famous of all the
RAF heavy bombers in World War II. From 1942 it formed the backbone of the
night bombing offensives deep in Germany and gained its fame through the sinking
of the Tirpitz and the destruction of the Möhne and Eder dam. The Lancaster was
able to carry loads of up to 9,980 kg of bombs, the heaviest individual one
being the “Grand Slam”. It saw service up to 1945 in 68 RAF Bomber Command
squadrons and flew over 156,000 sorties.
This model requires paint and glue to complete. This is just one of many
