At this build I used new Tamyia weathering master set to mark soot from exhauts on wings.

@lis - that turret is SUPERB!
capt. R said 2 years ago:

@tcinla @johnb @fiveten thsnk you! Rear turret is easy to install. The nose turret was a real challenge, as well as its handguard, which caught the bombardier's sight. I don't know if I did something wrong (and I don't think so), but I had to cut out the gunner's leg base so that it could be mounted, and it doesn't fit exactly as I would like it to be. Apart from the fact that the nasal turret bed required cumbersome puttying in the most visible part at the top.

Canopy have big clear parts so cockpit is quite visible.

The interior is nicely visible, my friend @lis!

Main gear are ready. If you remember I bought extra set of white metal undercarridge. Finally I used hybrid of some plastic and metal parts, because of plastic is more elastic material.

Painting of the canopy frames is also perfectly done, Lis @lis
Great sharp edges and indeed a nice view on the interior.
The main landing gear does look superb as well.

@johnb
John vd Biggelaar Thank You! I used Eduard Masks. It's very good product.
Spiros Pendedekas said 2 years ago:

Yep, the landing gear looks superb, my friend @lis!

So HP Halifax is ready. I'm so hapy. I will write more soon. The final work was exciting but calm and without any unexpected mishaps. The installation of radisotation wires was a solution to the problem, because there was a different line arrangement in each photo. Even the description from the set of AML decals and masks was not consistent with each other. I hope You enjoy my build 🙂
