propforward Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Finally finished another one. Happy with some aspects, bit disappointed with others. This is the Tamiya MkVI Beaufighter in 1:48 scale. The build thread can be found here: So the kit is pretty much OOB - the only aftermarket addition was some Eduard seatbelts to improve the cockpit a bit. Paints were acrylics from AK Interactive, with gloss finish by pledge, final matt finish by Model Master Acryl matt clear cote. I made use of Flory washes for some weathering, with some AK Interactive dust and dirt and pigments for an extra touch. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdonnell Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Hello,Propforward - I've enjoyed viewing your WIP on this build. The Beaufighter is one of my favourite WW2 Types and your completed model looks superb.I love this particular scheme and the quality and detail of the painting and finishing work. 😉👍 All the best,Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
