It looks good No.1, Halifax is a frustrating airplane to profile, you have done a great job with it.

Its a 644 sqn craft just like my Mk.V.

In many aspects your work is better then mine. Few questions- tail wheel is retracting or not? Also bottom belly hole is let open or covered?

No.1,

I was thinking the same about yours, other people's work always looks better than my own to me. You are correct, this a/c should not have a retractable tail wheel, I cheated and used my Mk III profile for my Mk AV profile. The paratroop hatch on this particular halifax, 644 Sqn D-day Tarrant Rushton, did not have a hatch cover, it also did not have invasion stripes painted on the wings yet. There were different configurations of the parachute hatch as well, the Halifax is one complicated aircraft to research, you have done well with yours.
