Squadron Shop is showing a 1/72 Halifax from Modelcraft in Canada. Is
this a new kit or a repackaged old Frog kit or something similar?

Most likely Matchbox.

Yes, I can't recall Frog ever doing the Halifax.  The two 1/72nd kits I
know of are Airfix's and Matchbox's.  Matchbox's is quite nice and has
many build variations.

If it's the readial engine version, it'll probably be ex-Airfix

Saw it on Saturday, but didn't get to open the box.  It's got in-line
engines, whichever version that is (not currently up on Halifax
versions).

It's the Matchbox mk I/II - also coming back from Revell Germany in
the first Quarter of next year.

You may be thinking of the Wellington - the mk X Halifax was a planned
Hercules version that was never built.

The kit builds the mk I and II with Merlin engines
