My 1/48 Tamiya Beaufighter


Drift

Recommended Posts

My 1st Tamiya kit. Be gentle folks, I'm still a noob. I never do the crew members, but I thought I will give it a bash. All brush painted:

 

I have to schemes planned, either a RAF bird fro, North Africa, or SAAF one out of Italy. Will have to decide when the new decals arrive, as the kiy ones just disintegrate.

If I might be so bold as to add one small comment. Maybe brush a little bit of whatever flat coat you have over the crew's flight suits. They're a bit too glossy, at least to my eye. All else looks good. As I'm a bit of a Beaufighter junkie, I shall be following your build.

Going to have to park this build for now until new decals from the UK arrive. The kit decals are way too old, and just disintegrate the minute you touch them. I tried treating them with a clear coat, but that didn't help either. 

 

It's OK, I decided on the SAAF them anyways. Maybe start with the Airfix 1/72 B17 or 1/48 Stuka. Not sure yet.
