modelling minion Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 And we're done! I have to say that I have been thoroughly impressed with this kit from start to finish, with kits of this standard I can clearly see where Tamiya gets in name for quality from. It may not be a s detailed in some places as Revell's new kit seems to be but to my mind none of it will be visible with the fuselages closed up anyway and it certainly looks like a Beaufighter to me and captures the rugged look of the original very well, and everything fits!! Enough waffling, here are some pics of the finished model, i will post some more in the gallery soon; And that's it, it only remains for me to thank our host Rich for organising another great GB which I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of and am really enjoying watching the excellent builds of other members on. A big thank you to all of you who have popped in to have a look and either "liked" or left comments or advice, it is always welcome and to my mind is what makes taking part in a GB so much fun and makes us all feel involved in whichever project we have decided to follow the progress of.

Have to admit, this Beau is a real Stand-out and IMO joins Greg and his lovely Zero at the top of this GB's pecking order. That is one stunning finish to a great model and typifies the way this aircraft would have appeared back in the day. This is truly inspirational stuff and a good reminder to crack on with both my GB build and the many other Beau kits I have acquired in the stash. Cheers and wonderful modelling..

Cheers Rich, I take that as a great compliment that you're buying a Beau after seeing mine, actually can't think of a higher one. I think they are a great looking aircraft and the Tamiya kit is superb, you'll love it. Really have enjoyed this GB and will keep watching the other builds, there are some cracking models on here. I look forward to you joining me when we re-visit Asia for the 80's GB next year and we swap roles! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
