Chris Thanks. I shall have to take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Another beautiful model Tony. The build and paint finish is first class, especially the realistic weathering so much better looking than the white panel and black edging current fashion!! And brush painted too. Thanks for showing your work. Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine still isn`t a patch on your French Halibag! All the best mate Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Glad to see this completed Tony, you did a great job as usual ! I'm happy to have contributed to the final result, but without your skills it would have not been as good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Very nice Halifax! The subtle treatment of the black surfaces looks very realistic, which is kind-of important for such a plane. Your build inspires me to consider the kit for my stash (but my Wife must not find out). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

general melchett Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Sorry, I missed this one earlier Tony, lovely job mate, really looks the part, my favourite version of the old kite. Even better when you consider you took a brush to it. I've also got one of these in the stash along with a few essential improvements like Johns props, Colin's H2S radome and the gorgeous Armory wheels which really add a lot to the basic kit. Excellent Halibag... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Joyce Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Very nicely done, and I like the subtle weathering. The exhausts really stand out--I'll keep them in mind on my next heavy bomber build. Great nose art too! Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent Halibag... Cheers Andy, I had an old Matchbox H2S blister ready to add which then went missing,..only to rear its head again at the end of the build,......our ghost playing tricks again! I`ve just bought a set of those Armoury wheels for another Halibag that I have planned,.... they are great aren`t they? Look forward to seeing what you do with yours,...... you might want to do something with the air intakes on top of the cowlings as they are not great,...... if only John still did his range of parts eh! His props and intakes for the Halibag, plus his exhausts were superb. All the best Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
