sohoppy Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Really excellent model. Do you suppose the thimble nose contained a radar? They did in the nightfighter version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did in the nightfighter version. Thanks very much, Yeah, the nose contained anti-shipping radar in this case. I was surprised that it was painted in the brown and green camo` and not the dark sea grey and slate grey scheme but I couldn`t find any evidence to the contrary.

28ZComeback Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Absolutely stunning. Another beautiful finish. Imagine sailing off the coast of Burma in 1944 in your Japanese-flagged fishing trawler and this bad boy drops from the sky!

Jabo31 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I like the staging of your model, you have to look twice. Among other things, I like that it is a newer Airfix model and that you have built something very nice out of it. I particularly like this paint finish. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jabo, Actually it`s the 1/48 Tamiya one, (I did say at the beginning of the post) really glad you like it though 🙂 Cheers Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opus999 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Wow Russ, I love this! I'm not normally a fan of thimble nosed Beaufighters, but this looks wonderful! I've never seen one in a SEA scheme before -- it suits it nicely. The finish is well done and I love the backdrop you chose. Very appropriate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Superb job Russ, wonderful looking Beaufighter.. My parents used to live in a small village in Norfolk called Cockthorpe situated next to/on what used to be RAF Langham. during the later part of the war this type (thimble nosed) was stationed there. Once while visiting, my dad showed me a gun barrell that had been unearthed by farm machinery later identified as a Beaufighter barrel. The airfield is still there with the distinctive gunnery dome now open as a tourist attraction. Worth a look if your ever up that way. https://langhamdome.org/ Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Robin Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Loving your work my friend. The subtle panel lines and faded paintwork make for a most realistic finish. Looks the part sat on the psp plates. Regards Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
