                        Hi all I have an early release kit of this model which I intend to build as a mule a Halton C8

                        I am also going to attempt to rescribe it from photos of the plane as converted (the panel lines on the kit bare no resemblance to the planes in the photos)

                        I have made a start and here is where I am now

                        That's an interesting looking build. I have to ask as RAF aircraft ain't my thing, but what is a Halton, is it a variant of the Halifax.

                        I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

                        Yes it is a Halifax, after the war they were sold to civilian operators, with all the armaments removed and other alterations then renamed haltons.

                        Right, I see, hence the blanked out upper turret. Nice to see something different.
