    The Beaufighter is an elegant-looking airplane. Looking forward to seeing it painted and with decals. Great Job.

    That sky looks wonderful, Allan @kalamazoo!

    Hi Allan @kalamazoo!
    I can see the gret looks of the Humbrol 29!
    Propellers look stellar, too!

    Nice progress, Allan @kalamazoo!
    I have a very high respect for Humbrol 30: this paint has always performed flawlessly (among other Humbrols as well...), as is the excellent result here at your Beaufighter.
    Looks great (and I can sense decal time arriving...?)

    Thanks Spiros, I don't mind Humbrol although I've had trouble with some of their coulors, decals soon !

    Looking good, Allan. I have never had much luck with Humbrol, and they tend to be difficult to find here in central Texas.

    Thanks George, do you use Model Master enamels or are they becoming difficult to get ?
