xvtonker Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Just bought the new Mikromir 1/144 Blackburn Beverley. Came as a heck of a surprise as I hadn't seen any notifications or rumours banding around. XVTonker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really my period but it might as well be a WW2 aircraft - though probably with Hercules not Centaurus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xvtonker Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I got mine off eBay.com. It's the US site, but the shipping costs are the same to the UK from Ukraine. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xblackburn+beverley+1%2F144.TRS0&_nkw=blackburn+beverley+1%2F144&_sacat=220 For some reason they haven't put it onto eBay.co.uk.

AMB Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) My Beverley kit arrived this morning and all I can say is WOW, it's an absolute cracker! Accurate shape with nice panel details. Full interior floor with ribbed fuselage interior and in openable clam-shell doors. Nice clear transparencies and a small brass etched sheet. Decals for four different Beverleys - 47 & 30 Sqn.s in white/.silver, 84 Sqn.MEAF in camo. and the RAE one in white/black/ orange (not 'Red Arrows Red as in instructions!) However there are errors on the decal sheet. - If you build the camouflage version of 84 Squadron, the one RAF roundel on top of the wing is correct but all the white/silver schemes had roundels above and below both wings. Unfortunately only three roundels are included for the wings. The white title lettering 'MIDDLE EAST' is mis-spelt 'MIDLE'. If you build XB267 of 47 Sqn., the fuselage serial is omitted on the decal sheet . Also the squadron Heron insignia decal on the tail is facing to the right on both sides, which should face to the left on the port side. The 30 Sqn. aircraft should have 'ROYAL AIR FORCE MIDDLE EAST' titles in black on fuselage and nose, but the instructions erroneously show these as 'Transport Command', which are not correct for 1967. Also 30 Squadrons’ diamond tail insignia and nose code were both in RED, not black as on the decal sheet. Finally, there are no blue cheatlines included for the silver/white versions, so these will have to be sourced from the Xtradecal blue stripes decal sheet . Having said that,I can see me building several of these! Well done Mikr Mir!. Now can we have a Handley Page Hastings please?
