I'm sure it's a Handley Page Halifax B Mk III 

I remember having armed that landing gear in a plastic model 1/72.
was glue the oil radiator of bristol hercules engine a litle backwards and the wheels that were functionally retractable did not lock and model fell belly.

I would have to agree with Loco as I have found the original picture:



Nice job Loco!

I must admit that the coolest looking 'fax to me is always the early Mk I:









This cutaway shows the Mk II, the beauty of which is almost the same:



Cheers!

We will continue waiting for the confirmation of LameHawk 

until tomorrow

Sorry  - been away for a couple of days.

But of course Halifax is the only answer.

I also did Airfix's Halifax back in the sixties  (god I'm old) , and once you've seen it, you don't forget the details.

Loco - you have it

[LameHawk]

I must admit that the mk I has a lot of personality. And I really like planes with personality.
In general I don't think biplanes have much personality. They all look the same to me, as do many jet fighters of the fifties. Not to mention passenger planes.
Then there are the sexy ones like the Spitfire or the F-4.

Oh, I could go on like this....

[LameHawk]

BTW P-51, you did find the actual picture I stole the detail from.

I usually get a lot of satisfaction from finding the picture!

[locopiston]

Good images LameHawk!

We must have armed the same... like this was mine (I guess it's still inside a box in the attic of my father's house)

[locopiston]

Let's try this canary then 





Guess this!

[LameHawk]

This shouldn't be turned into the Plastix section, but this is how the poor thing looks like these days (you know the type who never throws anything out)
In the background my latest kit - the Panzerbücker. The concept is decidedly odd, but it is a beautiful little plane (a plane with personality!).

I suppose the F-5 in the picture just went for a close up - and he closed up!

Guessing it's a Navy Culver - TD2C?

[locopiston]

Although I have it as a cluver PQ-14, the navy renamed it T2D2C-1 and change the color of this target drone.

correct Mexchiwa!

you turn!
