Beaufighter of Coastal Command
Beaufighter TF Mk X NT950 MB-T of No. 236 Squadron RAF 1944 Coastal Command. The wonderful Tamiya 1/48 kit, a pleasure to build. Thanks for looking.
Into all things 1/48 WW1 and WW2. Aircraft, dios, armour etc. favourite topics are, Luftwaffe, RAAF , Dutch airforce, BoB, and anything that flies from around 1914-1946 essentially. 🙂
Recently started WW1 subjects. All of 2021. Can't see myself doing anything else for a while, unless more WW2 British bombers get released. Keeping an eye on that Beaufort release. LOL. 2023 now and I'm now getting into some 1/48 afv. And that Beaufort was one of my favourite builds of 2022.
