Background information:

The Avro Lancaster was not just any bomber, it was a symbol of the British resistance during 

World War II. Over 7,300 of these impressive machines were produced for the Royal Air Force 

Bomber Command. A special highlight of their operations was Operation Chastise, in which 

the dams of the Ruhr area, which supplied important industrial plants with electricity, were 

attacked. With the "bouncing bomb" specially developed for this attack, the 617th Squadron 

under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Guy Gibson was able to successfully destroy two 

of the dams. An exciting and courageous part of the story, which you can now recreate with 

this kit. Ideal for collectors, history enthusiasts and anyone interested in model making.
