SimonL Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Another one rescued from the back of the shed. One of the first short run kits I made - a High Planes 1:72 Beaufighter. Built well over 10 years ago when I was still using enamels (still brush painted). After cleaning up the dust and cobwebs (there was a spider living in one of the engine nacelles) she doesn't look too bad. I can't find the instructions so I can not remember what unit she belonged to, other than she is an early RAAF machine. Can't wait until I can get my hands on the new Airfix tooling! Thanks for looking. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 A nice job on that one Simon. I like the way the Highplanes Beaus go together, the extra bit of clean up is worth it it but like you, I'm keen to add an Airfix one (or so) to the stash.

JimHead23 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Very nice indeed. I have a couple of these in the stash but I doubt if I will build them now the Airfix is on the horizon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
occa Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 High Planes kits are accurate but not always easy to build, you did a very good job on this !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonL Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Thanks guys. As Occa says, not the easiest of builds! Roll on the new Airfix tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike romeo Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Nice job on a "challenging" kit. Let's hope Airfix kit some earlier Beaufighters alongside the TF.X. regards, Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
