World War II Europe & America
1:72 Scale, Limited Edition (No Certificate)
Measures 11.75" nose to tail x 17" wingspan
The successful use of the five-ton Tallboy bomb led to approval for a ten-ton version, code named "Grand Slam". Lancasters were modified to carry Grand Slam up to the required 25,000-foot drop height. With these planes, No. 617 hit targets with the most devastating bomb devised before the advent of the A-bomb.
