Got to agree, even on the tarmac the pilot was 22ft off the ground !!

Wow does that look like a lot of work, good luck.  I must say, between the Lancaster and Halifax those British WWII bombers were... boxy.

Have now completed the cockpit area.  The kits  flight engineers and flying instrument panels were hopeless so I raided my spares box. Also the wireless operators and the navigators stations had to be scratch built.  You only get the pilots seat with the kit so again spares box raided!  Have worked on the wheels and main landing gear ( which had a lot of flash to clean up)  Getting the tyres into the landing gear was quite a struggle!  Currently working on the inner engines and trying to work out how to create the u/c doors.

Here are some photos of work so far.

The Fonderie kit is injection molded but is also a bear to build, certainly no easy 1:48 Halifaxes, looking forward to seeing the progress on this one. I have the Sanger Stirling but haven't made it too far on that.
