doozer1974 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hello all My second posting of the day. We've been lucky enough to have some beautiful sunshine here this morning, which has given me a chance to take some half decent photos of this build that I completed about a year ago. This is Tamiya's Beaufighter MkX in 1/48 in a Coastal Command scheme, another great kit of theirs that goes together like a dream - a real pleasure from start to finish. This was built out of the box apart from a Montex Mini Mask for the canopy, and a bit of EZ Line for the antenna wire, and was painted with Tamiya acrylics throughout. This was my first bash at doing invasion stripes, quite happy with how they've come out. Thanks for looking Adam 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon382 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Looks very good indeed. I have one of these in my "I'm sure I'll be able to start it soon" stash! I'll be a happy man indeed if it looks anywhere near as good as yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackem01 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Love it, and learned something new - the bomb carriage.....never knew that. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doozer1974 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thanks Andy and mackem. The bombs might be straying into 'what if' territory - but the kit instructions suggested using either the bombs or the torpedo, glad you like her anyway... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
