Tamiya 1:48 Beaufighter Mk. VIF


Recommended Posts

I already posted photos of this build at HyperScale, but I hope people will forgive my posting them here as well -- I figured it being a British subject ... Anyway, I've had the Tamiya kit for a long time and wanted to build it as a nightfighter using decals from a Techmod sheet covering several planes, most of them serving with RAF Polish 307 Sqn. X8005 had non-dihedral tail planes, so I used a Red Roo resin set. Other aftermarket items include parts from a True Details resin cockpit as well as Ultracast seats, wheels and hedgehog exhaust stacks. The starboard wing vertical plane radar dipoles are pieces of .017 guitar string with the teardrop fairing carved/cut from a piece of sprue. Paints are Model Master enamels and various Alclad shades for the exhaust collectors and stacks.
