If anyone is interested – and assuming it hasn’t been posted here before – a young Dutch modeller over on a modelling forum I frequent is building a model Halifax in tribute to the crew of LL293.
As well as making a superb model, he is including lots of history – plus photos of some recovered parts.
Check it out here.

Does anyone know how to find this pdf or can send it to me?
Ive been trying to find it but without success.
“The drawings are by Alfred Granger and they appeared in Aerodata International # 7 “Handley Page Halifax: Merlin Engined Variants” by Philip J. R. Moyes, Vintage Aviation Publications Ltd, Oxford, 1979.
There is a pdf file of it in circulation (legally questionable I’m sure) but that’s actually how I got them. I found it with Google. (I would have prefered purchasing an actual copy; but I couldn’t find it anywhere).”
Its a great model project, i never thought about questioning the validity of models. It seems with a Little research and time they could improve the models so the amount of work needed by model makers could be eliminated. Maybe it would cost to much to recreate a mold but surely how they arrived at the end model in the first place questions their professionalism.

Hi Ken,
I am following this project of his very closely, very impressive to say the least. Especially the historic part of it.
Modelling on a different level.
Cheers
