The give away is where the horizontal stabilisers attach to the fuselage, near the top.................... I'd say a Halifax or something derived from it.

That's it on the nail its a really old kit but the fit seems ok its the instructions which are terrible.

well i will sit in the corner with Ian as thats what i was going to say

[Guest]

I'd never have guessed a Halifax tbh

the tail seems too low and the wings to high in the body...

I'd have thought maybe an Avro lol

Great subject Ken, I've always liked the Halifax, perhaps another of the underrated aeroplanes of that war. I saw the Halifax at Hendon years ago that was recovered from a Norwegian Fiord. Question out of curiosity only: how are you going to get the guns into the rear turret, and paint the framing on the turret? You may have a solution that is very cunning and it may come in handy.
