1/48 Tamiya Beaufighter XXI 93 Sqn Borneo RAAF
This is a joint effort. My oldest son started this a few years ago in a model club I ran at our primary school. I cleaned the parts he started up, finished the rest of the build and painted it etc.
He's happy with the colours I picked. [...]
New Airfix Beaufighter
Here are a few pictures of the new Airfix 1:72 TF10 Beaufighter which I built for the new issue of Airfix Model world Magazine. Terry Higgins provided lots of invaluable research towards this build and the magazine features a supplement on [...]
Airfix 1/72 Beaufighter TF X

1/72 scale Hasegawa Beaufighter MK VI

This is the later version of the several night fighter variants with the thimble nose. The model represents an aircraft from 604 Squadron, RAF, based at Church Fenton in 1943. Built straight out of the box except for a little scratch [...]
Blast from the past
Recently my 9 year old daughter, Micaela, expressed an interest in building a model aircraft. I managed to get hold of the exact same model kit that I built back in 1982 as my first model when I was 10, a Matchbox 1/72 Bristol Beaufighter. [...]
Hasegawa RAAF Bristol Beaufighter 1/72
Hi everyone,
first post here for me. Completed this one back in October and thought I would share. Excellent little kit of the Beaufighter in 1/72 scale. Difficult to obtain but it looks as though Airfix will be releasing a Mk X in 1/72 in [...]
Bristol Beaufighter MK VI
This model represents an Beaufighter from 30 Squadron, RAAF. I have no further info on it except that the person I built it for was on the same island base in the Pacific where this group was. He was with the USA on OY-10's. He passed away [...]
