Led by their enigmatic and inspirational commanding officer Guy Gibson, he is reputed to have said, 'This squadron will either make history, or it will be completely wiped out', but nevertheless, every man was determined to play their part in this historic raid. Nineteen 'Special' Lancaster's and their crews sent a message to the German nation that could not be disguised by their propaganda ministers. ## Features - 1:72 scale - Skill level 2 - 2 scheme options ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BT4QRX5W | | Additional Features | 'Avro Lancaster B.III 'THE DAMBUSTERS' theme, historical significance' | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Art Craft Kit Type | Model Building Kit | | Best Sellers Rank | #89,639 in Toys ( See Top 100 in Toys ) #78 in Airplane & Jet Model Building Kits | | Brand Name | Airfix | | Color | Un-painted | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,346) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05063129001360 | | Included Components | 1x Model Aircraft | | Item Dimensions | 45.7 x 25.4 x 7.6 centimeters | | Item Type Name | Airfix Avro Lancaster B.III (SPECIAL) 'THE DAMBUSTERS' | | Item Weight | 0.2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Hornby Hobbies | | Manufacturer Part Number | A09007A | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Airfix Avro Lancaster B.III (SPECIAL) 'THE DAMBUSTERS' | | Model Number | A09007A | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 265 | | Paint Type | Acrylic | | Product Style | Avro Lancaster B.III 'THE DAMBUSTERS' | | Scale | 1:72 Scale | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Set Name | Avro Lancaster B.III (Special) 'The DAMBUSTERS' | | Size | 1:72 Scale | | Subject Character | Aircraft | | Theme | Flugzeug, Freizeit, Hobby, Modelleisenbahn | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Brand:** Airfix - **Colour:** Un-painted - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 45.7 x 25.4 x 7.6 centimeters - **Theme:** Flugzeug, Freizeit, Hobby, Modelleisenbahn ## Images ![Airfix Avro Lancaster B.III (SPECIAL) 'THE DAMBUSTERS' - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aEyOS+X5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Frequently Bought Together - Airfix Model Airplane Kit Gift Set - A09007A Avro Lancaster B.III (Special) 'The DAMBUSTERS', Plastic Plane Model Kits for Adults & Kids 14+, Skill Level 3, 1:72 Scale WW2 Military Aircraft Models - Testors 3509C Testors Plastic Cement Value Pack - Academy TBM-3" USS Bunker Hill Airplane Model Building Kit, Navy --- ## 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.fr/products/523910563-airfix-avro-lancaster-b-iii-special-the-dambusters](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/523910563-airfix-avro-lancaster-b-iii-special-the-dambusters) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
