Beautiful work, Morne!

Looking great Morne!

Hi John. The SAAF Beaufighters had a Dark Sea Grey and Slate Grey camo topside and either Sky or Light Sea Grey underside. The colour photo is slightly misleading to say the least. At least with the RAAF Beaufighter Foliage Green over all makes it easier. However, such is the madness of our hobby! Thanks for the comment!

What happened to the build boet, I have been waiting for progress, I was coming along nicely.

That's not so good, I know what its like to travel, it messes up your whole routine, not so lekker, it takes me at least 2-3 days to get back into the building mode.

Hang in there, I am sure that the Nationals are going to be a great success. Keep me posted on the dates and if there is anything I can do to be of assistance. Cheers buddy, keep in touch.

Next on my to do list for the Beaufighter will be replicating the "curtain" and its attachments to the canopy. To replicate this, I will use 2 very thin strips of thin plasticard to which I will glue thin metal foil. The curtain will then be folded back as shown in the photo. Three strands of fine copper wire will be attached to the folded curtain's plasticard attachment points and glued to the canopy frame to simulate the suspended curtain.
