LuisB Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Another TF.X doesnt appeal to me that much, but i love the early desert schemes of Beaus I... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boman Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 From this review http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/FirstLook/Revell/Rev_Bristol_Beaufighter_TF_X_48/Rev_Beaufighter_TF10.html it appears that there is 2 sets of tailplanes in the kit, however both appear "angled", hence only possible to make a late version Beaufighter.

gingerbob Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Yeah, that's what I was wanting to say. In addition, the "enclosure" around the pilot's position (y'know, that big clear part) was subtly different on the Mk.I, or at least early ones. Not that many people are likely to (or expected to) care, but it is true. My problem with the kit, though, is getting my hands on one! bob p.s. So (if I remember right) it gives you two generations of "cranked" tail- one definite plus over Tamiya's- and also allows for with or without the dorsal fin/fillet. Also includes some other optional parts, so a reasonable variety provided for. Somewhere I saw it said that it wasn't "too" hard to convert the Tamiya parts to flat tail, so perhaps the same is true of Revell. There is also at least one resin "flat tailplane" (made for Tamiya) available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is this one, which seems to fit okay on the Revell kit but we haven't actually built one like that. https://www.redroomodels.com/red-roo-resin-148/red-roo-beaufighter-flat-tailplane-148/ Depending on which desert one you model, you may need a different rear cupola https://www.redroomodels.com/resin-plastic/red-roo-raaf-beaufighter-ww2-post-war-observers-canopies-148/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
