1/72 3413 Revell Avro Dam Buster Lancaster with Secret Bomb - Advent Issue

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc++

1979 Revell 'Advent' issue. From the same molds as the famous Revell Lancaster Dam Busters model. Kit has moveable control surfaces, special bomb, retractable landing gear and full crew. The model has never been started. The parts are either still in the factory sealed bag or have been inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. 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.
