gazza l Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Hello all. In my nearly fifty years of building model aircraft, strangely I've never built a Beaufighter, something that I have now corrected. This is the newish release from Airfix, everything fits together nicely apart from the cowling/engine assemblies which were a bit over engineered in my opinion, this made them a bit of fiddle to get right. Built oob apart from some Tamiya tape seat belts and a little scratch building of control levers in the cockpit. Painted with MRP lacquers, W&N oils for the wash, pastel chalks for weathering and stains. Thanks for looking gazza l 55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
