Beaufighter Mk IV Night Fighter, Tamiya 1/48


Recommended Posts

Bristol Beaufighter Mk VI Night Fighter, Tamiya 1/48, my latest model which I finished this week.

 

Airbrushed Vallejo acrylics and oil colours for weathering, the base is an old teak wood chopping board with a map section of Crete from about 6,000 feet.

 

I tried a lot of different possibilities to reproduce the "rotating" props. But I guess in the end there is no good way except installing small electric engines. Well maybe next time...

 

Hope you like my Black Beauty a bit - thanks for looking!

Love the model and I'm impressed with your solution to the spinning prop question. Props show up in photographs, but move too fast for the human eye, so disappear when the aircraft is in the air. Your approach is really convincing.
