Enjoying this build. Love the Beaufighter

I had a little setback I put a finger print in the landing light glass so I gave it a light sand then polished with metal polish which has almost fixed it a little more work should sort it. Phew!

I’ve just been given this kit by a pal of mine so now following on, great start so far and nice recovery on the clear part

It was a freebie for me to I've had another couple of goes with the polish and it's much improved.

I have sprayed the top coats on which was really tricky over black primer but it seemed to turn out ok now the gloss coat is on ready for decaling in the morning.

[BBdave]

I have put the Decals on I used Vallejo decal fix and medium it's the first time I've used anything but water, they did seem to lay better over panel lines etc.
I have done a little weathering mixing some of the black with a little light grey I'm now putting some matt coat on before anymore weathering.

Watching with interest Dave, got this one cheap along with the 1/32 new revell. Great looking plane, lovely work!!

A little more done and ongoing weathering I have a picture that I'm trying to replicate but I think if I copy it to closely the weathering would look to much.
