Most kits look like plastic versions of Corgi models!! :diablo: The reason the pics of the forthcoming Corgi Halifaxes look like plastic kits is because they ARE plastic kits. Corgi had to use Airfix and Matchbox kits just to illustrate their new models, as the toolings haven’t been made yet!

Adrian,

Aha……
Thanks for the info, that’s a relief. Although the 1:72 Lancaster even in metal looks like a metal version of the Airfix one. 😎

Looking forward to see the metal Hally’s then. The majority of the drawings are in the care of the IWM so there is no excuse not to do a good job. :rolleyes:

Cheers

Did you see that 1/72 Wellington op page 2, costing almost 800 P.St. Must be a typo!

I am happy with the Avengers and the S58. Hope they are going to make a Dutch TBM and S58 in the future, aswell as 1 or 2 colourfull TBM borate bombers. On the Halifaxes, I like the one with the covered nose and desert camo.

The pics are from prototypes, they often look odd, and the real models are better. So maybe a nose job has already been done in the production examples.

Still think that they are metal copies of plastic kits

How about following the ex-Calais Spitfire being restored by Historic Flying. You can take it from the beginning to the end.

No video Cees of the Halifax ,I knew a member of the team and he only had still photos…….including the one of the bra on the aerial which was placed by the divers as a joke for when the aircraft surfaced !

Thanks Scotavia,

I hoped that there would be some moving pictures as well as there are a lot of photographs taken (including colour, hey it was the early seventies).
I have footage of the recovery of NA337 though.

The wheels (and engine moutings) were made from a magnesium alloy which desintegrates over time in water or soil.
Even after only a few days the magnesium bits will begin to deteriorate. When the Collins Foundation’s Corsair ditched in the sea a few years ago. It was recovered the same day but the magnesium bits were all replaced because of this.

So this is SM969 then?

After the whole pressure wash excercise has been finished the airframe is a bare shell. So all wiring and fittings will need to be put back. Is this a total re-restoration?

I think this is now restored in the USAF museum. The wings were scrapped and the fuselage nearly so, but saved. Later the wings were replaced by a set from an Avia built example.
Hope this helps a bit.

Cees.
Imagine if you could get a cockpit of a Hampden?

Peter,

You know of one? Bit rare these days. Even more rare than a Halifax cockpit
😀

Cees, I didn’t know you were into collection Victor stuff? You should go after that victor cockpit in Ohio. Would make an interesting display beside your Halifax cockpit!

Peter,

I didn’t tell you everthing about my activities did I 😎 Although the Victor is a jet, it’s a beautiful aircraft and coming from the HP stable it helps as well. I couldn’t get a Bolingbroke cockpitsection out of Canada, let alone a Victor cockpit which is bulkier from the USA. 😀
No, I stick to the Halifax cockpit only if you don’t mind. A Hampden panel will be done next to it (yes, only a panel).
Cheers
