Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Never seen one of these ... ☹️ If i had I would have added it to my RAAF Beau. Oh well gives me an excuse to build another 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Moon Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 That’s a wonderful rendition Michael, I particularly like what you have done with the exhaust collector rings. Great scheme too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Very nice. The only issue I have is that you've painted the central gear casings of the engines grey. These were painted a semi-gloss black in reality. Tamiya instructions would have you paint them Tamiya X-18 semi-gloss black. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) That is a restored, post-war museum display. It has the rear-swept exhaust pipes. This is what a wartime Bristol Hercules looked like.

Kampartiger Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 That's a great looking Beaufighter,the idea of having the drop tank puts it apart from the rest of the crowd and you have replaced Tamiya's awful rockets too.Good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
