fishplanebeer Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Wow, it was certainly worth the small wait as it looks stunning and more akin to 48th scale in terms of the detail and finish, quite superb! Regards Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Like it? I love it!! The slightly worn finish looks spot-on to me. Don't think my own projects could stand up to close-up photos like your Beaufighter does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28ZComeback Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) This is a beautiful build and finish. What paints did you use? I love how the colors look weathered and pale. Edited March 25, 2021 by 28ZComeback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 There’s only one thing wrong with that Beaufighter.... it’s not in my display cabinet! Honestly, that’s turned out wonderfully well and the worn appearance is very typical of these hard working aircraft. Cheers and very well modelled..

Nikola Topalov Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Excellent model! Great paint work and weathering! Well done man! IMHO, the only thing that the model would benefit even more from is if the panel line washes were varied in intensity and colour instead of being uniform all around. Again, this doesn't by all means diminish the beauty of your model. Best, Nikola 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Welcome Jose, and well done, a fantastic build! Great weathering, I love the tyres and engines, in fact the whole thing!
