When Revell released their Halifax a few years ago, I knew immediately that I would build it as L9163, the aircraft which dropped Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubi into Czechoslovakia to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich. I cannot do justice to their story of incredible heroism and sacrifice, but if you wish to, you can read more here. The kit is not without its problems, but I was fortunate enough to receive a review sample of the excellent Freightdog improvement set, which includes replacement radiators, propellers and wheels. I think it really improves the look of the kit and is well worth investing in. Paints were a mixture of Tamiya and Mr Color, while decals were sourced from the Kits-World serial and code letters sheets and those supplied with the kit. I must say that while it is a bit of a clunker in terms of accuracy, the Revell kit is a joy to build. My only frustration was caused by my breaking a number of small parts during and after construction, but that is down to my own clumsiness.

Hi all, I've recently purchased Revell's new tool 1/72 Halifax and I'd like to stray away from the norm with this kit. I'm not overly familiar with the aircraft type thus the prop and cowling inaccuracies don't bother me. Unfortunately there is no Z-nose option included in the parts sprue. What I'd like to know is if there was a variant of Halifax with four bladed props and a nose turret. If so, which other variant parts in the kit would go with it + paint scheme, squadron markings and identity. I know it's a far reach, but any help in this matter would be very much appreciated
