Avereda Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I'd convinced myself this was a Wellington until I checked in my cupboard this evening. Obviously it isn't and the single Matchbox kit in my stash is a Beaufighter Mk X. I'm a bit behind on other GBs at the minute but hopefully I can catch up during the longer winter nights and join in with this kit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avereda Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 The abandonment of the PE-2 elsewhere means I can make start. I’ve got as far as opening the somewhat battered box... Sedately toned three colour styrene 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I loved this kit when it came out and I think the ‘grey’ and ‘sky’ coloured plastic is the same. Watching with interest (and nostalgia). Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventora3300 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 There may be 'clunk' but certainly no flash - very crisply moulded kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avereda Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 My GB experience last year taught me not to over complicate things and stick to OOB as far as possible. This fails to explain why the Airwaves PE set caught my eye just before Christmas. I had a bit of spare time today so I set to it and bent some PE, irritatingly I couldn’t find my thin CA until the sands of spare time ran out. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalbert Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I built the Beau with the etch brass for the Twin Radials GB, it needed some fettling and you can't see much of the rear compartment when it is sealed up! That said, the cockpit was massively improved by the details. Good luck with this, I do love a Beaufighter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom216 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 A little addition is not a bad thing, unless you go all out with time running dry, like I do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this and the other comments, I’m still plugging away at this. I doubt it will make the gallery even with the additional time but I think it will now be completed before the summer. I’ve put as much PE in as I reasonably can, the interior will be primed with Tamiya primer, a first for me, as I am now the possessor of a spray booth. One setback - I broke the pilot’s canopy trying to clean it, the Airwaves set provides an opportunity to rectify this though - watch this space. Photos should follow in the next day or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
