Pete's Beaufighter

Moving slowly towards closing up the fuselage:

A bit of painted detail on the cockpit sides, the tailwheels are finished, as are the pilots.
Whhops! Nearly forgot the IP! Need to paint that black and add the decal.

Hi Pete,
Just had a read through this, looking good
I recently purchased a 1/48 Tamiya Beaufighter myself,(after spending quite a while deciding on which kit !),as I built an Airfix one when a young boy in the mid 70s and had a liking for them ever since
I look forward to watching this develop from here on in

Nice choice Pete. I've always thought the Bea' was a good looking aircraft.

Thanks guys.
Yes Colin, I agree. Much better looking than the Beaufort.

Now that is fighting talk..............:tongue-out3:

Fuselage closed:

Almost a perfect fit, but the seam in the coaming in front of the cockpit will need a little work, as will the wing roots.
