<description>Avro Lancaster B Mk.III Dambuster ED932/AJ-G
Operation Chastise was a high-risk bombing raid carried out by the Royal Air Force on the night of 16/17 May 1943 against the MÃ¶hne, Edersee, and Sorpe dams in the Ruhr Valley in Germany. The raid was led by Wing Commander Guy Gibson, 617 Squadron, and involved 19 specially modified Lancaster bombers. The aircraft were equipped with a new weapon called the &quot;bouncing bomb&quot;, which was designed to skip across the water and hit the dam wall below the waterline.
 
The raid was ultimately successful, causing widespread flooding and damage to German industrial plants and infrastructure. However, 8 aircraft were lost with 53 aircrew killed and 3 aircrew taken prisoner. While the raid was considered a major success for the RAF, the designer of the &quot;bouncing bomb&quot;, Barnes Wallis, was appalled at the loss of aircrew.
 
The HK Models Lancaster kit - now in 1:48 scale - remembers the daring raid with markings for Guy Gibson&#039;s aircraft.

https://www.hk-models.com/hkm/shop/wwii/1-32-scale/1-32-avro-lancaster-b-mk.l-special-grand-slam-01e038/

In early 1945 the Lancaster was the only aircraft capable of carrying the 22,400lb &quot;Grand Slam&quot; earthquake bomb designed by Barnes Wallis, the largest conventional bomb of WWII. 32 Lancasters of type B.I (Spec) had the bomb bay doors removed to assist loading the massive bomb, and the front and upper turrets were removed and faired over to save as much weight as possible. Air defence was four 0.303in Browning machine guns in the rear turret, later changed to two 0.5in Brownings.

https://www.hk-models.com/hkm/shop/wwii/1-32-scale/1-32-dornier-335b-2-zerstorer-01e07/

The Dornier Do-335 &quot;Pfeil&quot; (&quot;Arrow&quot;) was the fastest piston-engined German Luftwaffe aircraft of WWII, and was also the only military aircraft of the time to feature a &quot;push-pull&quot; engine layout airframe. The B-Series &quot;Zerstorer&quot; (&quot;Destroyer&quot;) was a heavily armed version intendedspecifically for the heavy daylight fighter and interceptor roles, with the first two prototypes (M13 and M14) being completed during 1944-1945. These prototypes were single-seat high-speed destroyers, powered by two DB 603E engines in a push-pull configuration. The Do-335 B-2 version featured impressively heavy armament consisting of three MK 103 30mm cannons (two in the wings and one firing through the forward engine) and two cowl-mounted MG 151 20mm cannons..

<description>Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress &#039;Memphis Belle&#039;
Markings for USAF B-17F 41-24485 &#039;Memphis Belle&#039; DF-A &amp; 42-5360 &#039;Old Faithful&#039; VK-G.
The Boeing B-17 â€˜Flying Fortressâ€™ was one of the U.S.A.â€™s main four-engine heavy bombers, operating alongside the B-24 Liberator, and the later B-29 Superfortress, in all theatres of World War 2. Itâ€™s a fact that the B-17 almost never saw its place in history and the defeat of Nazi Germany, as the prototype, known as Model 299, crashed due to pilot error during its evaluation in October 1935. Thankfully, the design had shown such promise during the testing phase, in fact exceeding the requirements of the original specification, that further prototypes were ordered despite boeing losing the original contract with the United States Army Air Corps.
It was this further evaluation that saw the type enter active service in 1938. The actualame â€˜Flying Fortressâ€™ was coined by a newspaper hack who witnessed a roll-out of the machine, bristling with guns and turrets, and Boeing realised that this was the sort of propaganda they needed, and trademarked the name. After the initial prototypes, serial production of the B-17 began with the B-17B variant and underwent a major revision with the introduction of the â€˜Eâ€™. This type featured a substantially redesigned tail and fillet that featured throughout subsequent versions, giving the b-17 its iconic profile. An extra 10ft of length was added to the fuselage. Other refinements included the addition of a tail and dorsal turret, and the addition of a Bendix turret to replace the fixed bathtub type that had graced previous versions. This was found to be disappointing and was eventually replaced with the Sperry ball turret that became a permanent feature of all future marques.
Differences between the E &amp; F versions were mostly changes in nose armament layout, with staggered cheek guns being implemented, and a change in the bombardierâ€™s glass nose, although this would vary occasionally between machines, with a a number of sub-types and adaptations being fitted. Other changes included engine cowls with rounder forward radius, paddle-blade prop blades and strengthened undercarriage the allowed the internal bomb load to double from 4000lb to 8000lb.
The B-17F was powered by 4 x Wright R-1820 â€œCycloneâ€ turbocharged radial engines that were constantly uprated over the service life of the B-17, and also carried
11 x .50cal M2 Browning machine guns, with a twelfth being sometimes fitted in the glass nose. Wingspan was 103ft 9in,with a length of 74ft 4in. A crew of 10 was typically carried by the B-17.. Price:&amp;pound;107.99</description>
