fondurie miniature. handley page halifax mk 111 1/48 scale part # 6042

I am building this kit for a review right at the moment and I am very familiar with the kit. Should have read the review at great models. It's a tough kit and not one for inexperienced modelers considering it's multi-media and limited run. Also it's a fonderie miniature kit which should have been a clue as to the kit quality.

This kit is a diamond in the rough (very rough like almost a piece of coal), but with proper thought, attitude, problem solving and elbow grease can turn this kit into a spectacular build.

welcome to the forum , BTW

PS: Rick is right and I should have prefaced my comments with "Now that you have spent the money" and you would probably be better off with the sangor vac kit if you can find it.

Welcome to the FSM Forums . I've built a couple of FM kits in the past & vowed never again to pay such a high price for such lousy quality. Haven't bought one since & won't in the future unless they really clean up their act.

Regards, Rick

What they said. Welcome to the forum Jamesis.
