CamberrySauce Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi all, I recently completed this beaut of a kit I had no problems whatsoever with the kit and throughly enjoyed the build Masked and sprayed the stripes as I didn't feel like risking it with the decals Used the pilots to fill the seats because I feel the decal seatbelts looks a bit flat Constructive criticism very much welcome! -Cam 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Wardle Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Great job mate, excellent weathering which is something I'm not brave enough to try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonL Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Very nice. I built one of these as an Australian Mk 21 in overall foliage green over 10 years ago. Still one of my favourites on the shelf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 What a lovely build. Well done with the invasion stripes. The decals usually give me grief as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugle07 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Cracking job! Good choice on painting the stripes. Tried them out, then binned and masked on my one of these. Must finish it off at some point... Love the handlebar! Geoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 A right beauty. The weathering is great. If you should ever do another one, just remember that the central gear casing on wartime Bristol engines were painted a semi-gloss black. Also, the propeller hub was also painted black, or sometimes a squadron colour. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Henry Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 That is a great looking build. I am also curious about the pilot's "Stash" .... Bob H. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelh Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Love the beaufighter. The only flaw is that it appears to be in a tropical paradise. Not exactly the usual British dullness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
