the time has come for me to make my first Airfix kit since about 1995.

I picked up the Airfix 1/72 Handley Page Halifax B.III for free off a friend, it was still wrapped and im pretty sure its not the 2005 re-issue as the decals are pretty rubish and no choice what so ever.

has anyone ever made this kit?

im not finding it too bad, not too much flash and very little in the way of warping. nothing that cant be fixed with a little filler here and a little sanding there.

one thing i dont miss is Airfix's absolutly diobolical painting instructions!!

anyway, i will post some pictures once its done, im nearly finished bulding it but im guessing its going to take a few days getting it to look right.
