| Thanks ian. Having spent nearly an hour looking at the thread, the first thing I have to say is 'Well Done!' You made a great job out of what seems to be a b***h of a kit! The second thing I'll say is, I've now got nearly an hours worth of reasons why NOT to get this kit! Such a shame, as a decent Halifax in 48th scale would be most welcome, and the reviews (unbuikt) have been good. Very misleading, going off the kit contents etc. As I mentioned earlier, i think I'd rather have two of the new Tamiya Lancs, than one FM Halifax; I'll have to consider down-scaling the proposed Halifax diorama, and try it in 1.72nd scale. Thanks again Ian, you've been a great help. Terry. |

| I just read through it all, a very absorbing read, and an excellent end result.

| What gets me with the so called 'owner to be' he wanted it as his Dad's aircraft and with the aid of a few B/W pictures i completed it, not as if this bloke was short of money he isn't I had gave him a price of the model when finished and was happy with it and i kept him updated with 'in-build pictures' of it and was really excited about it. When i finally finished it i rang him and his wife said he doesn't want to talk to me about the model and no-longer wants it, talk about being let down big time ![]() Anyway alls not lost i've got a really nice Halibag to myself
