tonyot Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Hello Folks, I made this one some time ago to represent a Halifax GR.II (Special) from 58 Sqn at St. Davids, Wales in 1943 but I can now share it with you, hope you like it; The Freightdog update set was fantastic and although not totally accurate for the rivet counters out there it certainly makes the Revell Halifax actually look like a Halifax and it is really easy to use. I added bracing inside the nose cone for the .5 Browning carried by Halifax`s of 58 & 502 Sqns and it came from an old USAAF bomber kit. This model appears in the latest issue of Airfix Modelworld magazine, All the best Tony O Edited March 31, 2013 by tonyot 45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomW Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thats a real beauty Tony, always great to see Coastal Command aircraft being built. Regards Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Moon Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Superb job as normal. Funnily enough I was thinking of getting one of the Freightdog sets to do a Halifax even though 1/72 isn't my normal scale. This has just helped to make my mind up!

dogsbody Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Wow! That's really nice. Great job. Are the engine exhaust pipes from the kit or Freightdog? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elger Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Very nice! The best looking Revell Halifax I've seen to date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomprobert Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 That is rather lovely I have the FreightDog parts too and judging by this build it's an excellent compromise on the engine problem. I think my Halibag may have to be dug out now... Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris,...sorry I meant to add that the exhausts are from Quickboost, Cheers Tony O I may have to invest in that. I was thinking maybe doing a Coastal Command version, or perhaps Special Duties one. I'm torn. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Love it Tony! Strangely enough Gill and I are having a long weekend in Pembrokeshire soon and a walk round the old airfield at St Davids is one of the items on the agenda if my legs will play ball.

woody37 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 A lovely build Tony, boy does the Halibag suit this scheme The freightdog set really does make a big difference to the kit.
