Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Well making this in by the hair on my chinny chin chin. My apologies as Ive lost a bit of Mojo lately and just cant get it back. I present the Airfix Beaufighter X built as a VIc from 272 Squadron Malta 1942. I modified the tail plane by cutting it partially so I could flatten it out. Also cut the upper gunners glazing back and did my best to add a vickers gun. Please feel free to ask questions or leave comments in my build thread. Dennis 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
