Beard Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 That's very nice. Did you use the Mk10 kit (without the fin fillet) or a MkX (and added a thimble nose)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a small hint when mount the engine on the wing first, it makes the instalation of the enigine cowling much easier, do not do like the drawing. cheers Jes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-32 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Top work! I remember building the old one as a kid, going to have to get the new one..................purely for comparative purposes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazontipede Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 What a super little Beaufighter! Like F-32, I too had an example of the old Airfix kit last millennium. (From the dogfight double IIRC.) I must admit it never occurred to me that I might need a new replacement for that long gone model... Until I look at yours now. Dammit! Ah well, with Christmas closing I can farm it out to my Christmas wishlist... Any other hints and tips on putting this one together? The business with the engines noted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
