GTX Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 As already stated, I am hopeful a Mk II/DAP version gets released - I am confident that it will. would also be cool to see either a kit or a conversion (probably the latter I suspect) to produce a Beaufreighter: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oystein Ostensjo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Hi, I wonder if anyone might help me with information about one of the Bristol Beaufort Mk.I of the 42 Squadron - W6541. Specially I am looking for the Code Letters..... they should be WA-? This Beaufort dropped 4 bombs, close to the Harbour of my home town, in Haugesund/Norway, on the 12.09.1941.

Regards Oystein I don’t have any specific information, however No.42’s Squadrons code letters are ‘AW’ not ‘WA’ so if you’re doing some type of internet search for WA you probably won’t find anything.

This says that the Code Letters of W6541 is AW-G. I am going to make this model for the Arquebus War Museum in Haugesund, Norway. As a child, my mother was living close to the "target" - they hit an old Graveyard and a Park, close to a Ship Yard, used by the Germans. It was a big Bang, at six o'clock in the morning. Most people were sleeping in their houses, and luckily nobody was hurt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's a war on but since it's announcement details relating to the ICM Beaufort have been a bit vague to say the least. Personally I'm not holding my breath for it appearing this month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IT_Man Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I'll be just glad if/when it appears, given everything going on over there. I can certainly have no complaints about any delays, having read some of the stories about some of the guys that sculpt the plastic soldiers for Strelets.

Branky Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 According to my suppliers it will be available end of September / early October this year.

This providing the little boy in Kremlin does not get cross and start throwing his toys I think we're all hoping both statements there come true. I'm constantly amazed by these companies who are carrying on working. Utter respect to them all. After waiting so long for a Beaufort a few more weeks is bearable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewerjerry Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Hi i looked at the e bay listing but the sprue photos to me seem to be computer drawings none of the small parts connect to a sprue, there is just a gap I think i will still wait for hannants to get some in stock cheers jerry Edited September 16, 2022 by brewerjerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Scheme 5 (217 Sqdn), is very interesting. I didn’t realize any Beauforts were painted in this color combination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
