Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Those Matchbox cockpits are very basic but a nicely painted pilot hides it all! Looks good Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cngaero Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 What an excellent result. You've done a cracking job with this one and in my favourite Beaufighter colour scheme as well. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 That is great, you've made a stunning job of this, I'm thinking of my Revell Beau in an entirely new light now. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 What a wonderful result and in my favourite squadrons markings as well. That has really come up a treat and captures the Beaufighters rugged lines perfectly. You just need to add it into the gallery now to chalk up yet another successful Matchbox build for this GB (Gallery entry #69!). Well modelled. Cheers..
