The lights look great to me, Bernard @lis
Also the frames of the transparent parts look superb after mask removal.

thank you for your support. Sometimes it seems to me that the simplest things cause me trouble.

Usually those issues happen at the end of a build to me as well, Bernard @lis
They can be very frustrating. You clearly show how to correct them nicely.
Spiros Pendedekas said 4 months, 1 week ago:

Same with me, my friend @lis , weird things happen as my models approach the finish line 🤭
You are doing an excellent job!

@lis, the canopy looks great. Just some dust. I always make most mistakes towards the end, i start to rush things. Patience is key!
Felix said 4 months, 1 week ago:

@lis, by the way: What kind of wash do you apply and how?
capt. R said 4 months, 1 week ago:

@fxrob modelers World medium brown. Very good.
capt. R said 4 months, 1 week ago:

And after few correction, mistakes and few grey hair more Bristol Beaufort is complete. Tomorrow I hope I will build small diorama.

Great video of your finished Beaufighter, Bernard @lis
You did an amazing job on this one.

@johnb
All is ok now.
Spiros Pendedekas said 4 months, 1 week ago:

Excellent job and equally excellent result, my friend @lis! Looking forward to the diorama!

Few photos of details. I feel bad yesterday, so I make diorama today. As always I trust of Airfix manual, but Wheel has a little to small holes in hubs. I discovered it during instalation, so I live it as it is. Next theme is wheel covers. They need a little sanding before instalation. Instalation pins are a little to thick. despite my best efforts, the chassis geometry is not as perfect as I wanted.
