Lancaster
Few aircraft carry a story like the Avro Lancaster. Our Lancaster bomber models recreate the most famous British heavy bomber of the Second World War in 1:72 scale, including a Dambusters special edition of the aircraft that raided the German dams in 1943. It's a big build with a bigger history.

Lancaster bomber model kits in 1:72
Two versions of the Avro Lancaster B.III make up the range: the standard bomber, and the Dambusters special marking the raid of May 1943, when 617 Squadron took the type into legend. Both are 1:72 scale, so a finished Lancaster sits in proportion with the rest of the aircraft model kits range, and its four engines make it one of the more substantial builds in the WW2 model kits era. These are Lancaster bomber plastic model kits in the classic sense: every engine nacelle, turret and undercarriage leg is yours to assemble.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's in the Lancaster bomber models range?
The Avro Lancaster B.III in 1:72, in two forms: the standard aircraft and the Dambusters special edition. There's also a dedicated masking set for the Lancaster's extensive glazing, which saves an evening of cutting tape on all that nose and turret framing.
Is there a Dambusters Lancaster bomber model kit?
Yes, the B.III Special, the version modified for Operation Chastise, the dams raid of May 1943. The raid remains the best-known operation Bomber Command ever flew, and the boxing marks it properly. The wider Royal Air Force (RAF) fleet sits in the RAF model kits collection.
What goes with an Airfix Lancaster bomber model?
A bomber wants a busy airfield. The 1:72 RAF bomber re-supply set from the model figures range puts crew and equipment around it, and the diorama kits page covers the ground they stand on.
