The Hunters and the Hunted' - kits and reference material

[adt70hk]

Hi all

I realised that I had forgotten to update the list with some arrivals when I was about to upload the Halifax to the list.

The Hampden although a golden oldie comes with new decals.

The Mossie replaces the FB VI that sacrificed itself for Lonesome Polecat....but I think a NF Mk II might be appropriate for this collection as may be the case for a MK XII, for which I have the Quickboost nose.....so do I need to order two more of this kit??? :smiling5:

The arrival of the Halifax means that I now have one example of every main medium and heavy British bomber (Manchester excepted).

In terms of supporting info, I've struck gold with both build blog info and historical info with the Halifax.

The owner of Scaling Modelling Now has done a highly detailed blog his build of this kit (HERE), which he has also published in a 72 page free to download PDF.

Furthermore, on the Aircrew remembered website (HERE) there is a 12 page article on the RCAF squadron, the plane and the crew for the flight in which it was lost.

So just to add the Ju 88 I got for Father's Day to the list.

Although very obviously not a plane, I think you will agree this compliments the British bomber element of this collection very nicely. I certainly do, hence my inclusion in this thread.

Hi all

So as per my recent acquisitions post, this kit will be forming part of this collection.

My assumption is that the protective crew shield would not have been fitted for those guns in an AA role defending the Reich from the British Bomber offensive but I'll double check when it comes around to the build.

And have just realised that I forgot to add this to the thread when I got it the best part of two years ago. This is the generator for the searchlight I also have.
