Fishbed Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Another of Bristol's twin engined beauties to add to the collection. Picked this one up soon after it was released, and it did not befall the fate of many of my purchases and end up in the ever growing stash/loft insulation. I attempted to reduce the size of the engine cowling by running a strip of 20 thou card round the inner edge and blending in. Typically, soon after, resin replacements were available, but that's a few quid saved. I did add the Eduard "space" set to the cockpit to improve the detail a bit. Lots can be seen through the very clear transparencies. Having said that, the details added to the radio compartment are completely invisible, so may be I should have saved these for some other use. Paints were my usual go to Humbrol 29 for the earth and Coulourcoats dark green and sky. The green was sprayed on freehand (well following a pencil line I had drawn on) to get the camouflage pattern. Decals were from the box. A very enjoyable build. Tim 51 1
echen Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 A build that looks this good this close up has got to be good. Excellent work! 1
Pantherhawk27263 Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Wow!!! What a beautiful build!! Amazing work!
Clio182 Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Wow! That's just about perfect. You must be over the moon with this one.
Winded Penguin Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Very precise paintwork 👍 I know nothing about Beauforts. So please excuse my ignorance if I were to ask if that is a triangle of 'left-over masking tape' remaining on the starboard side of the front canopy? If not, I'll get me
GoranD Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Very nice, clean and precise, great job on the clear parts !
zigster Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Very nicely done! Hope, they do an Aussie version too. z
bryanm Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Good result - mine is a way behind yours so encouragement to get on with it!

georgeusa Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 This is just a wonderful build and finish of the Beaufort. I got this kit soon after it came out and with examples of yours as inspiration, it will not be long before I start it. Now, when I finish it, that is another matter all together. Thanks for sharing such a well made kit, just beautiful.

I spotted some yellow overspray on my current project, only after posting the photos on here saying nothing untoward to report!
