Mach2 provides the 1/72 Vickers Valiant B.1,not the best example but credible with lot of TLC, so having a crack at the Victor and Vulcan might be possible.
I think that they are using newer moulds as most of the parts seem to fit apart from the landing gear, too thick.
A retool Halifax and a B-29, a new C-130 or the Kawasaki C-1.

A 1/35 C130 for armour modellers...

Quote from: Pellson on September 24, 2022, 03:58:13 AMI have to say I'm pretty pleased with the V-bomber releases from Airfix over the latter years. Well made kits, and who else would do them? Really nice!
And as the Shack also came, a Lincoln might not be that far away? You can at least hope..

Other big, British brutes i could se myself building are the Beverley and the Belfast, of course. Revell brought us the Atlas - Airfix could very well follow up with the predecessors.

For fighter size objects I don't know. A whif issue of the TSR.2, maybe? God knows there are more or less infinite possibilities there, and they did that ridiculous Manga TSR.

And yes, I'm exclusively working in Gods True Scale. 

The ridiculous manga TSR2 is the one to get because you get all the standard TSR2 bits and transfers plus the ridiculous manga bits for whiffing use.

Is there need for a modern tooled Halifax?

Yes !

Has anyone done a Halifax since the original Airfix and Matchbox versions?

According to Scalemates, Revellogram did a new tool BI/II/GRII in 2011

Was it really a 'new tool' or an cleaned up M'box kit?

They had many of the M'box moulds and that's the same mark as the M'box one, with the small triangular fins.

{Later] It IS a new mould too, I've found a few reviews about it. What we now need is conversions kits for the later one, with Hercules engines and big fins.

[Even later....] It looks like the kit comes with the big fins as well as the small ones. Perhaps they have a Hercules engined version in the works?

Some of the Merlin powered Halifax's had the big square fin installed Kit, from what I've read (there's photos of them too). The new tool kit was very quickly pulled apart by the rivet counters, something about the engine nacelles being the wrong shape. There was an aftermarket company who made corrected nacelles for it, I thought it was FreightDog but I can't find it on their website.

They've done that one too Kit:

I hadn't realised that they had done a Mk.III from the earlier version, however from what Kit said it's not going to be wonderful.

When the Revell Halifax Mk.I/II was released it was noted that it had a number of errors, the worst being
the engine nacelles, they're too wide which makes the wheel bays two wide, the chin intake too large and
the spinners too great in diameter.

I can't find it now, but one modeller did a deep dive on the kit and determined it was down to the CAD
model that was used to make the moulds, all of the errors on the kit are found in the CAD model. It
seems that no final review was done, other Revell kits released in that period have similar issues and
were all done by the same designer.

Yep, Colin does a few improvement sets but they're out of stock at the moment.  They use the existing nacelles so are improvement rather than a complete fix:

He also does a turret fairing (and used to do a Z nose that is oop):

I believe the B.III avoids most of the problems due to the different nacelles, but a few minor issues remain.   

I'm going to see the only 'whole' one in the UK next week as I'll be visiting the Elvington Museum, where they have a hybrid made from bits of Halifaxes and Hastings which make up a pretty good replica.

It's good to see, Friday 13th markings on one side and Free French on the other. My local(ish) museum, I used to visit regularly but haven't been for about 6 years.

Quite a lot else to keep you entertained too, I really must visit again to see the Mirage IV.

In my stash I have Aeroclub aftermarket correction sets for two types of Halifax engine nacelle fronts, they have different intakes. They're made for the Airfix kit.

Oh the Mirage IV!.
