1/48 Bristol Beaufighter Mk VIF – Malta 1942
My first attempt at an article or work in progress on this site, please bear with me! Recently purchased (more like invested) in a Harder-Steenbeck Infinity airbrush and decided to try this out on a new kit build; this Tamiya classic [...]
Coastal Command Beau
Long time no visit, work life has gotten in the way of my modelling, but i managed to roll one out of the hangar finally.
Tamiyas 1/48 Beaufighter. OOB build with a paint scheme i came across whilst looking for something more interesting [...]
1/72 Airfix Beaufighter TF Mk. X Coastal Command
I call this my FrankenBeau... This was from the old Dogfight Doubles kit (along with the Bf 109 G from my prior post) so a very basic kit. No gun ports, no ejector chutes, raised rivets and panels...
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 [...]

So to start, I wanted some two 1/48 scale motorbikes and I liked the beaufighter from revell. [...]
Erosion Never Sleeps – Bristol Beaufighter Nightfighter
After looking at my Beaufighter for five months, I decided that it needed a little roughing-up. So I broke-out the thinner, some swabs, and a bottle of Model Master chrome silver paint and went to town. Along the way, I managed to break [...]
It was going to be literally out of the box
A while back on another site someone started a thread about building a kit without painting any of it. Just a pure build to see how well you could do without hiding flaws with paint. Most everyone said “no way.” But I kinda liked the [...]
Second Beaufighter
The first Bristol Beaufighter model I built was in the early 1970's when I was a teenager. It was 1:32 scale and I remembered that it didn't fit together very well. I recall painting the model entirely in black and even fabricated the [...]
