Mig88 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Here is one of my F-Toys Beaufighters in 1:144. It's Bristol Beaufighter Mk.10 RD857/OB-R of No. 45 Sqn RAF at Kuala Lumpur, Malaya, 1949, during Operation "Firedog". I finished this one in 2016. F-Toys planes are pre-painted partially assembled snap-fit kits. I removed the paint and separated the parts and converted the kit to a late Mk.X. I added the wing leading edge light, the strike camera behind the cockpit, made longer carburettor intakes and scratchbuilt the late-type rocket pylons. The kit's rockets were modified to make the later type with larger warheads. I also added all the aerials. The kit was completely painted with brush. The scheme's main markings came from an MYK Design sheet and the insignia were sourced from a Mark I sheet. The MYK sheet had some flaws, the main one being the incomplete underwing serials. Since they go underneath I decided to live with it! Thanks for looking and al comments are welcome Miguel 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Impressive ... very impressive ! Might i offer a simple suggestion ? When building in small scales. You should pose the model next to something, so the viewer gets a sense of the size. I recommend a coin, pencil tip, or match ? It will definitely show how impressive your work really is with a sense of scsle. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one happens be from just before I started doing this. Thanks anyway! Miguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
