HK Models 01F007 Avro Lancaster B Mk.I Special Grand Slam 1/48 is an exceptional plastic model kit, being a faithful replica of the legendary British strategic bomber from the period of World War II. Offered by the renowned company Hong Kong Models, the kit accurately recreates the special version of the Lancaster B Mk.I, adapted to carry the heaviest Allied conventional bomb, the 10-ton Grand Slam.
This model in 1/48 scale stands out for its extraordinary level of detail. It features a realistically rendered pilot’s cockpit section, complete crew stations, and precisely replicated instrument panel details. The intricately reproduced Rolls-Royce Merlin engines with displayable open cowls and the very accurately designed landing gear arrangement allow the model to be presented in various display configurations.
The Avro Lancaster B Mk.I Special "Grand Slam" was used primarily by the Royal Air Force. The most famous missions involving this aircraft took place at the end of the war, during 1944-1945. The Grand Slam bombs were used to destroy strategic targets such as bridges and bunkers, mainly in Germany. Thanks to special design modifications, these aircraft could carry an immense bomb load, and their effectiveness during operations contributed to breaking many German fortifications.
