Tbolt Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I'm guessing this is the same video posted above ( I never got around to watching it the other day ) but that ones seems to have been deleted so here it is again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammer625 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Question for all - the video and the instructions show what appears a tail fin that is part of the fuselage - if I’m correct the Australian Beauforts had a bigger fin which I’m guessing means no VIII’s from this mould. I’m hoping I’m wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping I’m wrong. Judging by what ICM have done with other subjects, I’d be very surprised if this remained the only release of their Beaufort. You just have to look at their Douglas A/B-26 family to know they love adding new parts and new boxart to their existing subjects. I’ll bet 1/4 of my stash an Aussie version will be produced in good time. Cheers.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cammer625 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Again, looking at the instructions and video, the tail fin is part of the fuselage with no inserts (not like a P-51 with the dorsal fin inserts). Not being familiar with the way ICM do variants, unless you cut the fin off and replace it (same as the High Planes 1/72 conversion for the Airfix kit) you can’t (I’m assuming) easily add the bigger fin. Is this how ICM usually attack variants? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahavelona Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I'm wondering if the slated December release which includes a tropical filter will be the same plastic? Can't see that the filters would require an entire new sprue myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon J Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 From what I have seen of the press releases relating to this kit it still has the feel of something that is in production and the delivery date is a bit off yet.

keithjs Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) Recieved mine toaday and I notice the 'other' rear turret and nose glazing is included in the kit. If I were to use these would that make it a Mk.1a or a Mk. IIa, or are there other differences between a I and a Ia and IIa?

Hi MkII had different engines, P&W 1830 twin wasp which makes me think there will be more issues, at least a MKII with new engines and most likely then a new fuselage for the aussie ones cheers jerry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panel lines are fine. Zoomed in on the photo they might look a little rough, but you won't notice it viewing normally. Surface texture is very fine grainy, like ultra fine sandpaper. The parts are in a resealable plastic bag (it's sticky: unstick and re-stick). Transparent plastic is in a separate clear bag, (strangely) sandwiched in the middle of other sprue trees. Waterslide decals have very little carrier film. The colours are good, but the white of the roundels is too bright for my liking - refrigerator white almost. I would prefer it scaled down to off-white or ivory. It's quite a tightly packed box. Be careful inspecting the parts. Don't disturb the bag too much - you might have difficulty getting the bits all back in the box. The box size is identical to that used for the ICM 1/32 Cr42.
