Hardtarget Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 I started the beau with the wing halves. Drilling out the rocket hard point holes. Then the pit was assembled and interior painted with decals for the IPs Halves cemented Wings cemented to the fuselage where the fit is nice and tight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEMPESTMK5 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Good morning Hardtarget They both look good so far Too bad that the Haseg Beaufighter is so hard to find today except in this combo which is surely expensive ... Patrice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardtarget Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hi Patrice, It is hard to get hold of with ebay offerings in exces og £40-50. Lukily i bought 3 combo boxings when they were avaliable from Japan which i think cost me £30 each. She still is the best kit in 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasegawa products are getting more and more expensive .. Patrice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardtarget Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yep. I tend to ship in bulk from there and buy kits over 3 months. When the date is near I get the lot shipped over. Mucghe cheaper if you buy direct rather than through shops who have to put a mark up on top of the markup of the distributor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a long time since I have not bought Hasegawa kits in European shops I rather buy them thanks to Luckymodel , Hobbyeasy and some others Ebaystores ... I will try to get this combo I would like to add a Spit and a Beau with Dday Stripes to my collection that already hosts 4 Thunderbolts , 3 Mustangs , 1 Lightning , 4 Typhoons and 1 Temps ..

Hardtarget Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 Its been a while getting some modelling in but here is the latest progress on the beau and spit. The spit got her camo on! As did the beau complete with invasion stripes. Cowlings also painted using a bit of copper and brass with some hu53 in there as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
