2013 marks the 70th Anniversary of the famous Dams Raid, so what better time to recreat the classic image of Guy Gibson and his crew about to board their Lanc on this classic mission.

Very nice indeed, just one minor issue IMO is they should have some head gear on, don't ever see any pics of bomber crews entering planes without some sort of head gear on.

This grouping was copied directly from a very famous photograph that I am sure was staged for propaganda purposes, but it is based on a period source!

I'm really resisting going down this slippery slope...currently only collecting AZW, but this is really nice.

As I said yesterday a stunning set and, I have already ordered one. A great depiction of the very well known and famous picture!!!

I'm impressed how well done the faces of the crew are. Each crewman looks like in the photo and the faces are different from each other enough so they look like individuals.

Thanks for that comment ....I spent quite a bit of time trying for the faces and individual hair styles

Hi Guys,
Just a note to congratulate Richard, Ken & Alan and the whole team of Britains on this new batch of 2013 releases ….. Excellent!
I particularly like the “Dambuster” set and almost had to do a “double take” when I saw the Lancaster….”Where did Richard get hold of one of our K&C Lancs from?” It looked so real!!!
Then later, I saw it was just the tail section….Anyway I love it and want to get one for my own collection.
Very well done! And congratulations to all concerned.
Best personal wishes,

Andy C.​
