Dstream Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Dear all, this is the final post of my build of the new Airfix 1:72 Beaufighter TF-X. I built the torpedo bomber version which is one of the two proposed by the kit. The paint scheme is for a torpedo bomber of the No. 404 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force. The upper surfaces are painted Extra Dark Sea Grey (Mr. Color 333). The lower surfaces are painted Sky (Tamiya XF-21 + XF-2): The finished model is not very large, but it is quite nicely done: I found that the kit was a pleasure to build and only a couple of points need some special care (engine cowlings and landing gear assemblies). I replaced the kit wheels, the exhaust tubes and the barrel of the dorsal gun. I also used the Eduard's masks for the transparent parts. I hope you like my final pictures. Best regards, Dan 43 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markh-75 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Very nice job indeed!👍 I have a Beaufighter yet to build; I'm making it a USAAF night fighter! The Beau' was another aircraft that the American airmen loved, as well as the Spitfire, Hurricane, Mosquito etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I really like that, you've got a super finish on it which shows your work off beautifully. I've one of these to do a Kiwi machine (489 sqn) with, I'll be rapt if it turns out like yours. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dstream Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 Thank you guys for all the comments and the 'likes'. I am really glad that my build received so many positive feedbacks. Some of you commented positively the finish of my model, I obtained that by applying several very thin coats with fine wet sanding in between. Thank you and best regards, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
