Revell 1/32 bristol beaufighter

Alright, no bother

Hello

Sorry for not posting for such a long time, I had to complete a science fair but now I had plenty of free time and finally got to finishing this long build.

Initially, I was planning to paint the underside in a sky color and the top in dark blue but I ran out of sky paint so I covered the whole plane in dark blue. Not very historically accurate but I think that It does not look too bad. I also glue on the little parts such as antennas and air probes. The landing gear fitted with no fit issues, unlike the rest of the build, and seems to be quite sturdy so I am not worried about it breaking under this heavy plane. sorry for posting a blank comment above.

Looks good so far Ivan. Maybe the gun streaking is a little heavy, but not overly done. It blends well into the dark grey, if it had been a pale colour I think it would have been too heavy..

Finally finished this kit, and I must say that I did not like it. It had horrible fit on most parts and the panel lines were raised.

It is probably just my inexperience which resulted in this model not turning out well. The next kit that I am making is a 1/48 p-47 from tamiya

The engine fell off but it was simple to glue it back on

This used to be a french flag but I cut it in the middle to create this other symbol

The decals went on well, and with some micro sol the panel lines showed through

If you don't look closely, you don't see some of the major flaws such as gaps and lack of detail

Great work Ivan I think It's turned out great what with all the problems you have had. think I may get one of these I do like the Beaufighter

I've just unlocked this on war thunder.

You have nice clean work, it makes for an eye pleasing finish.

I play war thunder too, I tried to get it to look like the Mk X, but I could not do the two-tone camo since I ran out of paint

[aaron]

She's a beast in mono tone. It looks awesome.

It's ram bait on war thunder, I've only been playing a few days but it's my fav plane too date.

Well to be honest I think you are being a little hard on yourself I have this kit in my stash and as you say it's not one of the best out there but I think you did a great job of it all things considered and I look forward to doing battle with mine when I'm in the right frame of mind and I like how your collection is building on your shelves.good luck with your next build I look forward to it cheers John
