aeroplanedriver Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) Tamiya's gorgeous Beaufighter TF.X built OOB except for some wine bottle foil to give the seat belt decals some body and some kabuki tape painted red for the cannon trough covers. This was a very enjoyable build and my first attempt at the hairspray method of chipping paint. Since my reference photos of this particular aircraft showed it pretty dirty I made her look a little war-weary. The Mossie certainly has her beat in looks and performance, but there is just something about the Beau that I've always loved since I built an Airfix or Matchbox one when I was about 9 I think.

Farmerboy Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Great job, looks really good, have to agree with you, the Beau is a mighty machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprue Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Inspirational! Cracking build. I have one of these waiting in the cupboard but unfortunately the Tamiya Mosquito IV got to the work bench first. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
