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.
