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

Could be a Matchbox kit.
it's the matchbox sez squadron's flyer.
i have a matchbox original to trade.
IIRC it builds the Mk X as well. Cheers, The Keeper
this month's squadron flyer says ex matchbox i believe. that make a mk1 and mk3? i have a coupls of matchbox's and it's nice for it's age. wonder if they cleaned up the new version? anyone seen it?
The Matchbox version also built the Mk. X hth The Keeper
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
