About product

The Avro Lancaster B.III Dambuster in 1:48 scale

This block model from the COBI brand treats the British four-engine bomber in the version made famous by a single night. The plastic elements join by snapping together, their shades are given at the factory, and the finished aircraft is among the largest pieces of the whole line in span.

The raid on the dams in 1943

On the night of the sixteenth to the seventeenth of May 1943 a specially assembled squadron, No. 617 Squadron, took off to attack the water works in the Ruhr. It carried an unusual weapon designed by Barnes Wallis – a spinning charge that bounced off the water after it landed and then sank to the foot of the dam. The crews had to fly at night only a few dozen feet above the water and read their exact height from the intersection of two beams of light. The Möhne and Eder dams were breached, but the price of the success was high: of nineteen machines, eight did not return.

Notes on assembly

Build the fuselage on a flat board, so that the long load-bearing section does not twist. Fit the engine nacelles only once the whole wing is finished and keep checking the dihedral of the two halves against each other. Because of the span, measure your free space in advance – an aircraft of this format may not fit on an ordinary shelf.

We recommend it to

  • Anyone interested in the aviation of the British Empire
  • Builders who want a large piece without spraying
  • Lovers of particular historical operations
  • Collectors of large brick aircraft

The aircraft goes together from kit elements that are attached in turn to a load-bearing frame.

FAQ

It refers to the machines of the squadron that attacked the water works in the Ruhr in 1943.

The exact span is not stated here, but reckon on one of the largest aircraft in the line.

Rather not; with an assembly this large, reckon on several longer sittings.

No, the joints between the elements hold mechanically.
