Bugle07 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Morning All, With the release of the new Revell Beaufighter there seems to have been a steady stream of them lately, so as I've not done a RFI in this section I thought I'd join in! This is the classic Tamiya 1/48 kit. No real fit issues apart from ones I created myself, like having the wheel bays closed. Paints are a mix of Vallejo and Tamiya, I scratched up some extra aerials here and there and got some plain while markings for MB T, I don't think it's right but I prefer the look to the yellow or red options. All comments, criticism and advice welcome. I should have said at the beginning that this is my first attempt at a 1/48 model, working on the Tamiya Spitfire mk vb and the Special Hobby Seafire at the moment so it won't be my last. And a couple of edited pics just for fun. Hope you like em. Geoff 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Nice build Geoff, those Tamiya kits are not bad. I built the Torpedo version and have got to say that it went together easily. Simon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugle07 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Thanks for the kind comments gents. It was a fun build, normal Tamiya shake and bake. The painting was the bit I wanted to experiment with. Could I do a decent job with an airbrush? This was the first time I'd used an airbrush in ernest. The invasion stripes were the biggest pain, masking them is something I'm not looking forward to doing again. Think I've only got one kit in the start that has them (I hope) Anyway happy modelling all! Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
