Tamiya 1/48 Beaufighter Mk1C 30 Sqd RAAF

Hi Everyone

It is ANZAC today here in Australia and here is my contribution to mark todays remembrance of our past / present servicemen & women.

Tamiya Beaufighter
Heritage Aviation Flat tail conversion
Southern Sky Decals (worked very well, single carrier film) - the pin up was a must build. Not many RAAF aircraft carried fuselage art!
Tamiya/Gunze paints

Thanks
Darren

Next to the Supermarine Spitfire, the Beaufighter is my 2nd favorite RAF kite. The Beaufighter looks like a clenched fist with wings. Yours is a real beauty. I like the paint scheme and markings. Something about Dk Green & Dk Earth...wow! S'matter, you run out of Thunderbolts?

  Hi Seamus
  
  Plenty more P47's to do...
  I try to build a few other aircraft from time to time!
  The beaufighter is one of my favourites, next one probably a Nightfighter or RAAF Mk21.
  Thanks
  Darren
