Airfix 1:72 Bristol Beaufighter Mk.X
Another nice Airfix kit completed. This is a very well engineered kit that essentially fell together. The only finicky issue was that the propeller/shaft assembly wouldn’t seat fully in the engine until I filed out the opening some. This was tricky step to do on a fully assembled and painted kit. I painted it with a variety of AK and Vallejo RAF colors.

Dennis, Excellent work on this, looks great. I actually had to come back and look at it again once I noticed it was 1/72 scale.

Very nice. Like the others wrote, excellent work and clean build. I´ve seen 1/32 Beau´s looking like that.
