If the world buys plenty of these 1/72 Beaufort kits, Airfix might just oblige.

Another outstanding pair of builds Tony,, you can see elements of both the Blenheim and Beaufighter  in it.

 

Cheers

Superb job(s) Tony. Airfix hopefully will a Mk.II as they've left the wings 'clean' for seperate nascelles. I've got one but determined to finish the High Planes ones I started...... maybe🤔

Cheers Davey,.... I wouldn`t hold your breath about a Mk.II mate,..... I`ve asked and they have flatly denied it,..... there may `possibly' be a Mk.Ia,..... but even that would require nose guns, a new nose glazing, new Browning guns for the turret and ASV Yagi antennae,..... and the Yagi`s on the Wellington kit were rather crude and thick. 

 

I`ve been building mine alongside a couple of Special Hobby kits and they look squashed in comparison,... even when I`ve tried to raise the roof section. Your best bet for a Mk.II is one of the conversion sets coming out of Oz.
