Has anyone built these two kits? Anything I should look out for, and how big are they when they are finished.
Thanks!

Boy, I wish someone would write back, I am debating whether or not I should buy these two. Thanks!

I can't really remember the Halifax, but the Stirling was one of the first models I ever owned (it was a pressie from my uncle and my dad did most of the work as I was only 9 at the time). Bear in mind this was 30 years ago, so that might be an indication of what the kit will be like. I vaguely remember it being moulded in black plastic, with the old written instructions and covered in the best efforts of the Mad Rivetter. The cockpit is quite well detailed, with all crew stations,including navigator and radio operator. I can't remember how big it was when it was finished.
Hope this helps
