Mark’s 1/48 Tamiya Bristol Beaufighter TF.Mk.X Surprisingly, this is my first ever Tamiya build and it will be interesting to see if the kit engineering lives up to all the hype, especially given that this particular model is held in such high regard with comments including “falls together” and “shake and bake” being quite common, well we’ll see how it fairs in the hands of a very average modeller. For the GB I intend to build the kit as supplied but with the addition of some scratch built detailing for the interior, possibly the rockets and rails, torpedo plus cradle, and the engines. What I do hope however is to try out some new to me painting and weathering techniques which hopefully a larger model such as this will allow even me to do. I have decided to complete the kit as the 236 Squadron example; NT950 ‘MB-T’ with invasion stripes, mainly because I’ve never done a model in such a scheme before plus I have an ICM 1/48 Mustang Mk.III in the stash which has a similar (316 Sqn. Polish) scheme and it would be nice to display them (eventually) side by side.
