Slywolff Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Hello, I think this is the third time I have tried editing this post only to hit enter to move the paragraph and down and lose all the writing.. what the hell is going on... In short, this is the GAF Beaufort kit by High Planes, purchased around 1990??? then put away for a couple of decades and then restarted in 2016... challenging kit, lots of extra work but coming to fruition. so photos: The Fuselage Mounted Aerials came from the Encore reboxing of the old Frog Beaufort, I kept the photo etched FMA and the decals then sold the remainder for $5... the P/e FMA don't quite match the High Planes kit but well see for yourself: I'm using Sovereign Paints, Dark Earth and Dark Green... this will be RAAF Beaufort A9 380 as per the kit instructions...

stevehnz Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 That looks like a nice Beaufort with a lot less hassle than trying to up grade the Frog one. I'm liking for sure. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell209 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Looks like you're wrangling a difficult case into a great representation of the aeroplane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey. Ah you must have the Beaufort transport version, which are had to get hold of... the kits are buildable but a heck of a lot of work! But the most accurate kits of the type.

I have done one of their Beaufighter's which went OK, and looks the part I think. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235042611-beaufighter-mk1-r2198-252-sqn-egypt-1941/&tab=comments#comment-3118511 Davey.
