Roman Schilhart Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hello, here's my recently finished 1/72 Revell Handley Page Halifax B.III. I built straight from the box except the main wheels which seem to be undersized. They were replaced by resin items from Kora. As with most new Revell kits, this is a smooth & easy build. I encountered some fit issues with the engine cowlings, but this was probably my own making, as I had painted all parts before assembly. The tolerances here are so low that even the thin layer of paint was too much. Decals come from the box, representing a machine of (Canadian) 424. Squadronm Skipton-On-Swale, December 1944. Painted with acrylics from Gunze/Mr.Hobby. # The position lights come as clear parts; I drilled a small hole and added a dot of red and green paint with a sharpened toothpick. To represent the 'wear & tear' of the propeller blades, I used a soft pencil to pronounce the edges. The detail of the flame-daming exhausts is simply marvellous. Even though the undersides are Black, I tried to apply some 'pre-shading'. Here, it is faintly visible. Thanks for your interest! All photographs; Wolfgang Rabel, IGM Cars & Bikes, Vienna Have a great christmas time.... cheers! Roman 63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 That's a beauty, Roman. I think your pre-shading of the black is very affective and breaks up the monotone nature of the scheme really well. I must get myself one of these kits.

Ed Russell Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Very clean build and nice weathering. The kit is not perfect but it's a much better proposition that the Merlin engine version. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 That is just super Roman, your work is always wonderfully well done, on a kit that big it is spectacularly well done. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Alfonso Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Hi Roman!!!! Just another wonderful build and another nice one!!! The kit seem to be a one of the very best Revell great efforts. I was thinking it was a Trumpeter original but after a little eresearch have convined me that its Revell original...a nice kit BUT Here is another nice and detailed photo job, nice Wolfgang work, but the real star here is your great craftsmanship with this nice kit. Have enjkoyed the nice build, great painting but the more I have enjoyed here is the nice soft weathering and precision you have achieved here. As always, congratulations for this one too!!! Thank you very much for sharing!!! Cheers, Luis Alfonso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
