1/72 04630 Revell Avro Lancaster Dam Buster - With Secret Bomb
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
2001 Revell issue. From the same molds as the famous Revell Lancaster Dam Busters model and features 79 pieces, moveable control surfaces, special bomb, retractable landing gear and full crew. The Dam Busters squadron was famous for it's daring raids on three German dams on May 16, 1943. Carrying the special Barnes Wallis-designed bombs, the Lancasters flew very low over the water in the face of heavy flak to drop the rotating bombs perfectly. Many did not return. The bombs did perform as promised, first skipping over the water, hitting the dam, then rolling down 30 feet before exploding with tremendous force. In an airburst, these bombs would not have damaged the dams, but since water is incompressible, the dams were breached.
