1/48 Avro Lancaster B Grandslam - HK Models
The Avro Lancaster B Grandslam in 1/48 scale by HK Models is a British heavy bomber specially modified to carry the 10-ton Grand Slam bomb, one of the most devastating bombs of WWII. This variant was used by the 617th RAF Squadron to attack heavily fortified targets such as submarine shelters and bridges. The model features a detailed cockpit, realistic undercarriage, Rolls-Royce Merlin engines and an open bomb bay adapted for the Grand Slam. The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
Avro Lancaster B Grandslam in 1/48 scale by HK Models captures a special version of one of the most important bombers of WWII. The Lancaster was the backbone of the RAF's Strategic Bomber Command, and in the Grandslam version it was modified to carry the extremely heavy 10-tonne Grand Slam penetrating bomb developed by engineer Barnes Wallis.
Aircraft of this configuration were deployed by the RAF's 617 Squadron, known as the "Dambusters", and were designed to destroy deeply buried and heavily fortified targets such as German U-boat shelters, railway viaducts and bunkers. The Grand Slam was the largest conventional bomb used during World War II, and on impact it penetrated several meters of concrete before exploding with devastating effect.
This 1/48 scale model brings a high level of detail and extensive equipment:
- Detailed cockpit with realistic controls
- Precision-engineered landing gear section to match the heavy load of the aircraft
- Four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines in open configuration
- Open bomb bay, adapted for the giant Grand Slam bomb
- Precise surface structure of the paneling to match the historic machine
With detailed workmanship and the ability to build the aircraft in an operational configuration, this model is an ideal choice for modellers interested in RAF strategic bombers and WWII special operations.
The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
