Andy`s 1/48 Beaufighter

[The Smythe Meister]

Well, the last few sessions that I've managed to get in have mostly been taken up by masking,it's taken  AGES !!
However, it's progressed......

Underside there.....

.... All completely masked off....

... and resplendent in Dark Brown,(decided to go for the "early war" scheme).
Rach is working until 8 tonight, so this afternoon it's going to be masking camo pattern and a splosh of "Purest Green" ..... with a few Ziders
Until then, it's goodbye from me.

Now that is looking very tidy mate.

Coming on nicely Andy!!

Now look guys, we all know who's doing all the work here. It's Cohan and he's doing a helluva job with all that masking and paint. As for Mr. Smiff, he's probably asleep in the chair after all that 'Zider' he's been nipping. The Beau is looking good though Cohan!!! Now go bite him on the finger to wake his butt up.........

Prost

Great work Andy

[The Smythe Meister]

.. well, she'll be home any minute..
... So my progress today,it took an AGE,but ere tis...

You can see the devistation from me carving up old camo masks there,and the gaps filled in with Tamiya tape ....
FINALLY I got the Green squirted..

.. and finally,the exciting bit...



That's it so far.. gotta do some lovey stuff now to welcome my beloved Rach home
See you next year Guys!!

On it's own two feet,(well,three technically ),the Copper housing painted,(weird one that to my mind?!),and a dark wash,going for a worn look on this one... A first for me! Lastly,ere she is gloss coated awaiting decals...

.... Going to get the decals on next...
As always,thanks for looking in Chaps

Andy, you've definitely been bitten by the wingy bug or Cohen has been well trained, either way it looks good.
I find the Beaufighter looks good on the ground and really brutish. The designers were definitely concentrating on the twin engines and wings and just plonked the pilot somewhere in the middle and forgot the rest of the front of the plane...similar with the Whirlwind. You can surprise attack from both sides... no need for side armour protection. :smiling2:

Cheers,

Looking very nice sir. I'm also marvelling at the modelling space!

Well Andy, I'm impressed. Your wingy thing is looking a top job and you've made pretty speedy progress as well. Great job with the masking. Camo has come out neatly.
