The aircraft used in the raid had the dorsal turret removed to save weight. As time is limited for building these days and Airfix has already removed said turret, one less thing to do is a help. I also noticed that I like the shape of the Airfix engine nacelles better than the FROG. Not that the FROG's are bad, just different.
The kit comes with all that's needed to do a Dambuster. The parts to modify the bomb bay are included on the white sprue.
It even has some usable decals for Guy Gibson's aircraft.
This will be mostly OOB but for two areas. One, the bomb itself is smooth on the outside and Airfix has it ribbed. And two, as can be seen on Gibson's aircraft below, the windows are visible so I think I'll be drilling those out.
Something this big to build is just the excuse I needed to clean off the desk, building single seat fighters only requires a tiny space.
So is the cockpit green or black? I've seen it both ways....
