Revell 1/48 Bristol Beaufighter TF. X
A build I've wanted to get round to for a while.

A Review of 2022

I had accidentally purchased a box of [...]
Revell 1/48 Bristol Beaufighter TF.X
For Revell there's a fair amount of detail here but the fit is a bit iffy to say the least. I saw on here that somebody else had had issues with the fit of the engines and main undercarriage. They were not wrong. Still, with a bit of [...]
