ForestFan Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hi, here's what I have been working on, Revell kit, Freightdog improvement set, Sky Models decals. Tamiya NATO black and Gunze for the camo. Managed to lose a couple of windows, so I need to get myself some Krystal Klear I guess!. Thanks for looking. FF 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Looks great, Forest Fan. How did you achieve the exhaust staining? A much-overlooked "heavy", 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFan Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Looks great, Forest Fan. How did you achieve the exhaust staining? A much-overlooked "heavy", Just airbrushed thinned acrylic medium grey and black, taking it steady! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I do like a nice Hallybag. A shame there's not a decent Mk III available & can't find an Airfix one. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLC1966 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I really like that. A good show off of the NATO Black. Yet another model I feel an immediate urge to go out and buy but frankly the stash is to big already, although I can see a set of the Freightdog engines coming sooner rather than later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 It looks great and the Freightdog set has really enhanced the kit no end, but have you mixed up the squadron codes? ST was 54 OTU equipped with Beaufighters etc but TL-S was a 35 Sqn Halifax, as worn by the RAFM wreckage, although on the Mk.I/II`s the letters were normally grey. Sorry if I`ve burst your bubble,....it is such a shame as your model is excellent, well painted but Sky Decals are not the most accurate or best researched decals in the world which is why you are often better off doing your own research and not simply trusting somebody else`s research,.....after all we are all fallible!

Learstang Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Very nice-looking Halibag, FF! I've thought of doing one of these with the Freightdog improvement set. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Very pretty build, even though I prefer my Halibag with rectangular fins and radials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Nice work, which SQN did you do it in? I have built a 148SQN 'Special' from the old Matchbox kit and want to do another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
