About the Tamiya 61111 Avro Lancaster Kit

The Avro Lancaster is one of the RAF's most recognised World War II bombers. The Mk.III Dambuster was modified to carry bouncing bombs for dam raids while the Mk.I Grand Slam variant carried the massive 10-ton Grand Slam for attacking fortified targets.

Tamiya's 1/48 interpretation provides faithful parts and assembly choices so you can model either the Dambuster or Grand Slam configuration with attention to scale detail.

What tools are recommended to build this kit?

Essential tools include fine cutters, hobby knives, sandpaper or files, and precision glue. A steady brush or airbrush helps with paintwork and weathering.

Does the kit include any pre-painted parts?

Some canopy parts come pre-painted to save time, but most components will require painting to achieve authentic finishes.

Can I use this kit for a museum-style display?

Yes, with careful painting and assembly the detailed parts and included crew figures make this kit suitable for static display or a small-scale museum diorama.
