1/48 Tamiya Lancaster

Dambusters

:This model is an older Tamiya offering. There are a number of areas where detail is lacking, and a few fit issues. in the end it turns out to look like a

Lancaster, but if you want to make a super detail model, then aftermarket is a must. It comes with two types of canopy windows: one with a

blister and one without. You also get the option of making either the Dambuster or the Tall Boy version. It comes with two Merlin engines, but are not worth the effort

since there is a major lack of detail in the engine cowlings.

There are markings for two Tall Boy aircraft:

PD133, 617 Sqn

PD112, 617 Sqn

You also have the option to build ANY of the 19 Dambuster aircraft.
