Cabbage,

I was excited and thankful to see the Revell stand at SMW telford 2011 with a Halifax B MkII S 1 as I didnt even know it was coming out. I must agree though with the criticisms that whilst a few minor errors may be forgiven and tweaked, as manufacturers are incapable of getting things right ( dont know why though when we immediately spot errors, so why cant they), the errors on this halifax go beyond the norm. The engines spinners and props are plain wrong looking, fat fat fat !. The correct kit engines wil fit inside, yes inside, the Revell offerings, considering the thick plastic walls thats some error. Just doesnt look right. The intakes at front are noticeably wrong and it doesnt look halifax. B17 blades…what a clanger, and lanc-ish spinners, they should be conical. They didnt even look at a photo,, plan or the real thing. Its beyond a modellers abilities to fix easily. Its hard to forgive this. They should be holding an internal enquiry, I cant recall the last time so many errors featured in a kit.

I still want to be grateful for them doing the Halifax, but this…?:confused:

In this day and age such errors shouldnt happen, or are they struggling for decent staff, enough unemployed engineers out there who could do better.

I have to side with the miffed brigade, and start saving up for all the resin fixes I’ll need to get a Halifax looking like one. Entire wing assembly in fact.
