Airfix’s Bristol Beaufort mk1

[Airborne01]

I tried to print some maps but they just kept coming out A4...do enlisted daughter to help and she was able to get it much smaller but still not small enough so I took what she had done and simply cut out the bits I wanted; some land, some sea and that worked well enough.

There's a company called ETA produce maps in various scales - also flags, posters, zeltbahns, cartons etc etc. Inexpensive and beautifully detailed on good quality paper. I can recommend them!

Russell,
Some nice detailing.

I'm sure they won't be visible, and I wasn't criticising your build, it's just disappointing that Airfix couldn't avoid having so many on a new tool. Some are in really awkward places too. :disappointed2:

For sure. Wasn’t taken as criticism but I was annoyed I didn’t try to fill them. They we’re definitely in an awkward place to try and sand off without destroying the whole inside of the plane. Also some cut through some of the frame work which is really disappointing.

That's looking very nice. there's a good bit of detail for 1:72.

Enjoying the build so far Colin. It’s a good little kit.

Work on the Beaufort has progressed! I ordered a masking set which took months to arrive! But now; we’re off!

That looks great Russell. Not a common model in my experience…..and you’ve done a fantastic job on it so far.

Great job on the paint work. A nice bit of variation brings everything to life.
