More than 7,300 of these machines were built for RAF Bomber Command. One of the most important RAF targets was the destruction of the Ruhr dams that supplied important industrial installations with power. In order to accurately attack such robust targets as dams or barrages a rotating bomb was developed which was better known as the "bouncing bomb". For this attack a special new unit was set up, 617 Squadron under the command of Wing Commander Guy Gibson. Code-named "Operation Chastise" this raid took place with 19 Lancaster bombers on the night of 16th to 17th May 1943. The first two dams - Möhne and Eder - were successfully destroyed, whereas the other two - Ennepe and Sorpe withstood the attack.

Revell and Airfix have a bit of a hit and miss system with models where sometimes you get a really decent model and once in a while utter rubbish. This thankfully is one of the better models. Revell have done a nice job here, the Lancaster is moulded in decent plastic and has a fair amount of surface detail which comes out nicely when painted. Allowing for the scale of this model, you can't expect huge amounts of minute detail but they have done extremely well I think and this is no insult to the crews that flew this incredible aircraft. As a representation of the Dam Busters bomber I feel that Revell have managed to capture the spirit of the aircraft and provide enough detail that it's a satisfying build and looks nice when finished. There are quite a few small parts for this, and a some care will need to be taken painting this model. You will get a better finish on the camouflage with an airbrush if you have one, but careful brush painting will not disappoint. The turrets rotate, the guns elevate - the bomb does not spin though. If you decide to have this with gear down, you might want to consider filing the wheels flat in one area to indicate weight from the plane, but that's your choice. The hardest part to paint is going to be the main cockpit area as that has a fairly complex gridwork of metal to pick out, so if you don't have a steady hand; either gradually paint it using thin masking tape or employ one of the many other masking products that are available to make your life easier. The internal detail is minimal, but that's no surprising on a model of this scale, but there is some effort made with the seats and control panel. You will need to look at a larger scale or one of the vastly more expensive Japanese models if you want higher detail levels. At the end of the day, this is a good model for the price, it looks extremely nice if you take care assembling and painting it and it's worth the effort to make. It is quite a large aircraft, even at this scale, so you will need space to display it, or, have it wheels up and hang from the ceiling as a flight model. Either way it's going to look good.

They loved it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for money! *by S***S on 14 July 2019* This model is definitely good value for money. But, at the price, you expect shortcuts - some detail a little lacking, and the fit quite difficult at times. However, with some perseverance, it’s possible to end up with a very acceptable finished product, and a lot of satisfaction. I’d buy it again, for sure! ## Frequently Bought Together - Revell Germany Avro Lancaster B.III Model Kit - Revell Germany Avro Lancaster Mk.I/III Model Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/47923752-revell-04295-lancaster-b-iii-dambusters-1-72-scale-unbuilt](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/47923752-revell-04295-lancaster-b-iii-dambusters-1-72-scale-unbuilt) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
