Review: F.M 1/48 Halifax Mk.III Review

Handley Page Halifax II

1/48 FM Handley Page Halifax Mk III

A few weeks ago a friend and I went to the National Air Force Museum of Canada, just outside of Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Trenton, Ontario. The big attraction is a Halifax bomber that was restored a few years ago and remains the only [...]

Handley-Page Halifax GRII – 1/32nd scale vacform

This was a year long project and started life as a very basic vacform (the old ID Models' kit now marketed as Tigger Models) and involved a great deal of scratch building. Kits such as these come as a blank canvas - the shell of the main [...]
