    Dear Britmodellers I am very interested in producing a few RAF Harvard types and would be very grateful of any advice or instruction that anyone could provide me with. I have pondered the internet and know that there are a few differences between early Harvard types and the Texans that are commercially available. The Academy kit seems a good place to start for the MK II but presumably not the fabric bodied earlier model. Any help as to where to start or reference material available would be gratefully accepted. Regards Jim

    Lovely result Adrian. Hard to believe it is the old Frog. The Airfix cowlings make such a difference. Regards Jim

    Excellent Adrian. It took me back to those old articles in the Airfix magazine of the '70s. However the end result and pictures are much more 'state of the art' than was achieved way back then! A real pleasure. Regards Jim

    Adrian That's fantastic! Thank you so much. I have thoroughly enjoyed this build from start to finish. Hopefully the parts will make me take the plunge and actually make something from my Beaufort collection. I will PM you shortly. Regards Jim

    Absolutely stunning Adrian. I am so pleased to finally see her together after all this time.

    Happy New Year Adrian! This is quite possibly my favourite wip ever and I loved the Beaufighter interlude too! Now you are approaching the finish line I can't wait to see the results. Didn't I read somewhere that Airfix have got an announcement planned for tomorrow? Regards Jim

    Yes 1/72 and it looks very accurate (Only a tenner!). I am scared silly of vacuforms but compared to what you have tackled with this project Adrian 'challenging' is hardly appropriate! I

    Hi Adrian So glad you are back on this topic as I am really looking forward to seeing it completed. Whilst at Telford I managed to find a Bristol Beaufort vacuform by Gerald J. Elliot which I didn't even know existed. I have added this to the stash of Frog, HiPlane and Special Hobby Beaufort in my collection. I was looking to your completion to actually pick one up and start building before Airfix bring one out! Keep up the excellent work! Regards Jim

    Really incredible. It's a great kit but you have taken it too another level. Congratulations. Regards Jim

    Fantastic! I really enjoyed your build and the finish is superb. Thanks for sharing. Regards Jim

    Hi Adrian I'm so glad you have got to this and not consigned the kit to the 'shelf of doom'! I am really looking forward to seeing it finished. Regards Jim

    That's great news Jan. Thanks to you and all of you for your very helpful suggestions. Regards Jim

    Thanks Steve that's a place to start. Regards Jim

    Dear All I am looking for any after market decals available for the above and was wondering if anyone could please point me in the right direction. WW1 is right out of my comfort zone so any help would be appreciated. Regards Jim

    If you ever wish to part with your other Beaufort and any spare vac items Adrian I would give you a good price (Or swap)! Are you using the Beaufort undercart or modifying the FROG? Regards Jim
  16. JimHead23
    Really inspired Adrian. I hope I can do my kits the same kind of justice as you are with yours. Are you planning a 'wheels up' Beaufort? Regards Jim
  17. JimHead23
    Brilliant work Adrian. I am learning a lot. May I ask what glue do you use to attach the balsa to the plasticard? Regards Jim
  18. JimHead23
    That's look excellent Adrian. I'm looking forward to the next thrilling instalment! Regards Jim
  19. JimHead23
    Welcome back Adrian, I am watching you every move in this project and kept checking my settings while you were away to make sure I was 'following'. I'm looking forward to you moulding the canopy. Regards Jim
  20. JimHead23
    That fuselage looks completely transformed Adrian. I could never work out how I would attempt to correct it but now I know! Thanks for sharing. Regards Jim

    You certainly made the old girl step up to the mark. I built one of my MPM Blenheim 1s recently and was pleasantly surprised how right it looked standing next to the new Airfix. They seem to have got the wings and cowlings spot on. I really hope your Beaufort comes up to you usual standard as it will hopefully give me the courage to start mine. It does look rather daunting! Regards Jim
  22. JimHead23
    Sound advice Adrian. I do have examples of both Hiplanes and Special Hobby in my stash but I didn't want to waste the two Frog kits I have. I also seem to have a similar (masochistic?) streak to the one that made you build the old Airfix Blenheim IV (To an excellent standard I may say). Regards Jim

    Hi Adrian I have been watching avidly as I have two of these in my stash and was looking for a way of using them to their best advantage. This looks ideal. Please be as descriptive with the conversion as you always are and keep the pictures coming. I would gladly by the book if you chose to publish ! Fabulous build as always. Regards Jim

    When you first started posting your work on Britmodeller Fuad I felt that you had reached such a high standard that you would find it hard to improve but it seems that you have taken yourself even further away from my own abilities! That is truly stunning and the element of realism in your finish is now second to none. If someone had told me this was the 1/48 AMT model I would have just assumed you had very large hands! Thanks for sharing. Regards Jim
  25. JimHead23
    Absolutely stunning!
