Revell 1/72 Avro Dam Buster Lancaster with Secret Bomb, H202-250 plastic model kit

1/72 H202-250 Revell Avro Dam Buster Lancaster with Secret Bomb

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Exc+++

Dated 1971, but this is the softbox issue from later in the 1970s. Features specially modified Lancaster fuselage with Dam Buster bomb and release mechanism. Landing gear retracts, props and wheels turns and control surfaces move. 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. NOTE: two prop blades and four cannon barrels are broken but all the broken parts are present. The Dam Busters squadron was famous for the 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.
