About product

Eduard 1:48 Avro Lancaster B Mk.III Dambuster: a Zoom photo-etched set

A photo-etched set of brass sheet in 1:48 scale from the Czech brand Eduard, belonging to the smaller Zoom line. It is not a model of the aircraft but an accessory for a plastic kit of the Lancaster already purchased. Against the full photo-etched sets that the brand offers for the individual parts of the airframe of the same machine, Zoom is a narrower choice concentrated on the pilot's compartment, that is on the place that is best visible under the extensive glazing.

The real subject

The Avro Lancaster was the main British night bomber of the Second World War, with four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines and a crew of seven. The machines known as Dambusters belonged to No. 617 Squadron RAF, which in May 1943 attacked the German dams in the Ruhr with Barnes Wallis's bouncing bomb. Because of the unusual load these Lancasters went through a number of modifications, and to this day they are among the most often built versions of the type.

Tips for working with photo-etched parts

The smaller extent of the set suits a first acquaintance with the technique as well. Separate the parts with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface, make the bends along the marked grooves and finish the edge against a steel rule. Apply super glue with a pin in tiny drops. Assemble and paint the whole pilot's compartment before you glue the halves of the fuselage together.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers for whom picking the pilot's compartment out is enough
  • Those starting out with photo-etched accessories
  • Builds where the inside is well visible under a glazed cabin
  • Those interested in the famous operation of No. 617 Squadron in 1943

FAQ

It is a smaller photo-etched set with a narrower extent, aimed above all at the pilot's compartment. The full photo-etched sets from the same brand cover a wider range of places.

It is not. The set contains only photo-etched accessories; the plastic model of the Lancaster in 1:48 scale is bought separately.

Right at the start. The parts of the pilot's compartment are fitted and painted before the halves of the fuselage are joined.

It is advisable. On degreased brass with a coat of primer the covering paint holds far better.
