Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VIF USAAF


Recommended Posts

Hello! This is another of a series of five Beaufighters in 1:144 which I built back in 2016.

In this case, it's KW147 of 415th Night Fighter Squadron, 12th Air Force, USAAF, at La Vailon, France in September 1944, one of several British nightfighters transferred to US units while they waited for their P-61s.

This is the F-Toys pre-painted semi-assembled kit which I disassembled, had the paint removed and built it almost OOB just adding underside aerials, the underwing pitot and radio wire, filling in the holes for the torpedo and rockets (which the kit would have you add despite being a nightfighter!) and removing an incorrect frame of the rear canopy.

The kit was fully painted and varnished with brush and decals came from the kit itself.

 

Thank you for looking and all comments are welcome

Miguel
