Does anyone know of a 1:144 scale model of a Halifax MkII bomber. I want to present one to my father-in-law who flew a Halifax in late 1943. The 1:72 kits from Revell and Frog are really too large. I found a couple of die-cast 1:144 models but they cost over £100 and I was hoping to keep the cost under £50 for the model or kit.

Thanks for your replies.

I meant Airfix not Frog (must be my age - senior moment!).

The Corgi model looks interesting and should be released before Xmas when I intend to give the model to my father-in-law. Although the web-site states that the model is a MKII it has both the front and mid-upper turrets, a configuration that I thought was only present on the MKI? It also seems to have 3 (or 4) guns in the upper mid-turret? Surely this turret had only twin-guns?

I will search for the Atlas model.
