Hi!

 

I've just finished Airfix' Beaufighter as a machine belonging to 404 sqn. This particular machine was flown by the Sqn. Leader on "Black Friday" - 9th february 1945. The model is painted using Xtracrylix and Vallejo colors. Weathering is Flory wash and pigments.

The Bristol Beaufighter is a particularly beautiful and elegant aircraft.

It will perhaps be my next build (but the Tamiya 1/48 which is also a TF. X.

Runeha I have to say that your model is very realistic and that you did justice to a superb airplane.

Congratulations.:clap2: Polo.

That's some top notch weathering.  I wish I could do it as well as this.  I particularly like the way you've portrayed the over-painted invasion stripes.  Which reminds me, should it not be February 1945, not 1944?

Thanks! You're quite right - 1945 is the correct year. Edited now:)
