It was with a bit of trepidation that I ordered this model. 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 spiritof 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.

This model is quite detailed but logical in its construction. It was fun to build for a grandfather and grandson, but we had to be very careful, especially with tiny detailed parts. Some of the fit lines could be better and if we were doing a first class job we would need a fair bit of filler. However the fun is in the making and painting which is why I've given it 4 stars. I would certainly buy similar kits from this manufacturer, should the opprotunity to spend time with grandkids present itself.

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!

Impressive great quality product, Revell easy to follow instructions, A litte tricky in places, that may be down to my eyesight, needed to buy glue and paints but when finished well worth all the effort, detail excellent. My Grandson now Knows about the Dambusters, we love it.

Typical Revell quality, excellent. Making this and a Vickers Vimy and A Vickers Wellington to show my grandsons the evolution of aircraft design over 100 years. Vickers Valiant to follow. The Lancaster was a whim of mine as I grew up watching these aircraft take to the skies

It makes a good model but beware some of the numbers on the instructions do not match the numbers on the plastic parts do not match .But using the brain you soon work it out .A nice model none the less but definitely not for beginners

love this kit ,good product from revel, the only thing I dislike is the box where you have to slide the parts out ,wish they would change this to a box style ,would be so much easier,who can ever forget the dambusters

I previously built the 1970's version of this kit in my younger years. This kit is in an entirely different league, it has levels of detail you would expect from a 1/24th scale kit! well worth the money.

24.11.2019

I cannot currently comment on the quality of the product as it is a gift. However, it is a good sized box that looks worth the money.I will update further when I have feedback from the builder!

i shall be getting more of these,it kept my son busy for days.nice to have some peace and quiet without kids moaning the they are board,and so much better than being on a computer all day.

19.12.2012

Brought for a christmas present so not been made yet. My son has always wanted to make a Lancaster and wanted a model with a bit more skill involved so hopefully this will suit him.

he Rear turret is not mobile, can't be turned.The main undercarriage struts are too small to hold the wheels in the bay.Too many extra non essential parts included within the kit

27.5.2021

Great kit and good value ... the detail is not bad for a 1/72 kit and the instructions are clear and concise so a relatively inexperienced modeller could follow and do a good job.

29.7.2013

My son ordered this using some vouchers he had earned at school and was very excited when it arrived this morning. He is making it now. Well packaged, good price, as described.

This model must be one of the first model designs as it was quite hard to work out and parts and instruction were hard to follow, but with some time studying I worked it out.
