brewerjerry Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi All, Not quite going back to the age of steam... But many years ago I seem to recall a 1/32 beaufort vacuform or vacuform conversion with the revell beaufighter,as a donor kit. Anyone have a good enough memory to recall who made it ? presumably it is well 'OOP' by now. Cheers Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn R Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi Jerry, It was I.D. Models that made the Beaufort, here's my example:- Having a Revell Beaufighter to hand was a great help as I could use quite a few parts from it. The kit is way OOP and I'm glad I managed to grab one when they were available. Regards, Glenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith in the uk Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Not sure if it is OOP , I think Combat models have the ID molds and might be still available if you go direct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I just say that that is an amazing model sir...and 1/32nd to boot......I have to get my hands on one of those as the Beaufort is a favourite of mine and the donor kit has either got the shape very well done (especially around the cockpit and nose transparencies) or you are an even better modeller than you first appear!Well done indeed and in comparison here is my rather meagre effort in 1/48th using the awful Sangar kitCheers Tony Edited April 8, 2013 by tonyot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewerjerry Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hi All, Just picked up my 1:32 beaufort today from john at tigger models It looks real nice :-) My winter project is all ready I just somehow have to fit it into my already full suitcase :-) cheers Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Cox Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hi Jerry, Could you share some pictures of what you got in the box of your Tigger Models Beaufort, I'm very interested in the contents. Cheers, Daniel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewerjerry Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hi Daniel I am away from home but will get some done on my return, hotel WiFi is bad. The kit is basic and will need a donor beaufighter, unless you are a really skilled modeller. http://tigger-models.blogspot.ca/2012/03/welcome-to-tigger-models.html?m=1 but realistically would there ever be anything else, until 3d printers evolve at an affordable price and acceptable quality by then I will probably be pushing up the daisies cheers Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Oh I`m very tempted but until I see what the vacformed bits look like I`ll wait a bit longer, even though Glenns built up model is just simply superb, Tony O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
