It's challenge time Revell 1\32 Bristol Beaufighter.

Which way do those doors open? That might save you having to add them (though it’s not as if it’ll be a major work).

Hi Peter
Engines look nice. The props are a heap of work, just time and patience. Are the missing doors "hiding" somewhere on another sprue?

I looked but couldn't find them I will check when I get home.

Update time the props have been sorted and I did try some scratch building in the cockpit but me and scratch building don't go hand in hand so it's only minimal seat belts as well.
And the cockpit is finished.
On the plus side I have some after market decals as well.[ATTACH]319551[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319552[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319553[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319554[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319555[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319556[/ATTACH]

Hi Peter
Looks very much as if it is a case of "so far so good". Props and cockpit all looking very smart.

Like this a lot Peter

A little update I have the rear office complete no dramas and the two fuselage sides also have gone together with no filling needed.[ATTACH]319788[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319789[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319790[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319791[/ATTACH]

The top right corner of the instrument panel decal in the last photo seems to have lifted, or is it supposed to be like that?

You're doing a fine job Peter.

It's lifted thanks for pointing that out

I have now got the part where I binned my last one I seem to have got off lightly on the centre section of the wings just a bit of filling needed the bigger problem is on the outer wing section the top lines up well but it leaves a big step on the bottom but nothing that a bit of sanding won't cure.[ATTACH]319912[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319913[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319914[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319915[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319916[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319917[/ATTACH][ATTACH]319918[/ATTACH]

Doing a grand job there Peter. I love seeing Beaufighters built as they were based not to far from me at RAF Dallachy

This one has let me off lightly I have the wing joints filled and sanded it's not perfect but a lot better than it was so i am past the stage of my last try.[ATTACH]320628[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320629[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320630[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320631[/ATTACH][ATTACH]320632[/ATTACH]
