Popular Post Tail-Dragon Posted December 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) I finally finished my 404 Sqdn. Beaufighter, as it would have appeared on the morning of D-Day. While Coastal Command would usually have used semi-armor piercing warheads, on this day they had the 60lb warheads for Flak suppression, and still carried the 'Universal' bomb racks on the belly. This is the Tamiya kit (1/48) with a huge list of corrections/additions/mods. It's painted with Tamiya acrylics, weathered with oils, and pastels, and Aviaeology's 'AOD48002m RCAF Beaufighters in Coastal Command' decals.

JackG Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 That is a great looking build. 👍 The comparison to period photos is interesting too. It seems Tamiya made the fuselage too tall at the tail plane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evalman Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 That's a stunning build. I like the way you have managed to get exactly the same angles as the original wartime images which were taken at a place I regularly visit to explore and walk my dog.
