Hi everyone!

Had this ancient Airfix Halifax started a long time ago, having progressed almost 95%, but left it aside collecting dust due to the less than perfect transparencies. I could live with all of them but the rear turret one...

I lately took it out of the Shelf of Unfinished Projects Doom and started working on it. Basically finishing the weathering, attaching the asymmetrical canopy and the wheels.

Then I thought that, since it is an ongoing project, it would be a good idea to enter it in our friend's Admin @lis Bomber Command GB. So here it is...

It is about time this deep-stalled project of this ancient kit be finished, of course in the shadow of the very good and excellently built Halifax of our friend @lis.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks my friend @lis!

Thanks my friend @johnb! I placed the original transparencies onto the clear sheet, outlined them with a fine marker and cut them with a pair of scissors. I cut them tad broader, then trimmed them to shape by trial and error process. Upon finishing, I brutally twisted them by hand, in order to somehow obtain their distinctive curvy shape. Still, I am not sure of their fit...we shall see...

Great!

Well, a group build is always great to inspire one to finish a project from the shelf of doom. This really looks like a bear of a prehistoric kit to me, Spiros @fiveten. You seem to be making the most of it.

Nicely done, Spiros @fiveten
Thanks for the clear explanation on the acetate parts.

Transparencies almost finished...

Wow. That's very impressive cutting those scratch built turrets. They really do look great @fiveten. Did you scratch that rear turret as well?
