Modelers have waited a long time, and now the moment has arrived: For the first time since 2015, Revell is re-releasing the Handley Page Halifax B Mk.III. This kit is considered the only "Modern Tool" version of this famous British bomber currently on the market. With an impressive wingspan of almost 44 cm in 1:72 scale, this model is a real heavyweight. It offers a level of detail and fit that does justice to the historical significance of this "workhorse" of the Royal Air Force.

Features

  • Exclusive return: Take the opportunity to build this kit, which has been out of print for years – the reference for the Halifax in 1:72 scale.
  • Technology in focus: Admire the four finely replicated Hercules radial engines and the fully equipped bomb bay including bomb load.
  • Lively mechanics: Bring dynamism to your model with movable control surfaces such as elevators and rudders.
  • New markings: The kit includes two new, high-quality decal versions for a British (RAF) and an Australian (RAAF) aircraft.
  • Challenging project: With 257 parts and level 5, this bomber is a wonderful challenge for experienced model builders aged 13 and up.

Assembling the Halifax is a journey into the aviation technology of the 1940s. You construct the complex fuselage frame, mount the detailed landing gear bays, and attach the powerful wings. Painting the camouflage schemes and applying the fine decals, in particular, require patience and precision. The result is a museum piece that impressively demonstrates the power and technical complexity of the Allied bomber fleet.

Background information

Alongside the famous Lancaster, the Handley Page Halifax was the Royal Air Force's most important heavy bomber in World War II. Over 6,000 were built. The Mk.III version was distinguished by its more powerful Bristol Hercules radial engines, which gave it improved performance and greater survivability. It formed the backbone of Bomber Command and made a crucial contribution to the Allied air offensive.
