GREG DESTEC Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hi Folks, Here is my latest project for the GB The Beaufighter TFX. One of my Fave Matchbox kits, which i no doubt mangled back in my youth! It a Revell/Matchbox issue in the black box, and didn't come with a stand... IMG_2576 by G DSC, on Flickr The contents..... IMG_2575 by G DSC, on Flickr Progress pic.s, which have taken place over the last week... IMG_2577 by G DSC, on Flickr As you can see, next to nothing in the pit ot observers position, i'm doing this one OOTB IMG_2579 by G DSC, on Flickr Builds up pretty quickly with no fit issues... IMG_2581 by G DSC, on Flickr IMG_2587 by G DSC, on Flickr Paint going on... IMG_2588 by G DSC, on Flickr And thats where i am as of tonight. Great little kit, which has been a joy to build. Shouldn't take that much longer.... Thanks for looking, cheers Greg 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREG DESTEC Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Well thats another one done. Great kit the Matchbox Beau, literally falls together, and looks the part when finished. Theres a few inaccuracies such as the undersized engines but i am happy with it. I weathered this one a bit more as it represents a Dallachy Beaufughter from the Moray/Banff Strike Wing and these birds suffered from the harsh winter conditions there in 1944/45. Check out the huge pilot figure from the Revell aircrew set. He fair fills the empty cockpit!! IMG_2589 by G DSC, on Flickr And the finished model.....
