1/72 Bristol Beaufighter TF.10.

by John Healy on April 10, 2019 · in Aviation · 20 ≡

This is the still new Airfix kit. The kit itself is superb, featuring solid engineering and great fit. I finished it straight from the box, including kit decals for 45 Squadron in Malaya during 1949. I did make seatbelts from painted [...]

Airfix 1:72 Bristol Beaufighter Mk.X

by Dennis Meyers on March 17, 2019 · in Aviation · 6 ≡

Another nice Airfix kit completed. This is a very well engineered kit that essentially fell together. The only finicky issue was that the propeller/shaft assembly wouldn't seat fully in the engine until I filed out the opening some. [...]

Wing Nut Wings (WNW): 1/32 Bristol F.2B Fighter

by paul teixeira on April 14, 2018 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

Despite being in awe of the WW1 fighters I had stayed away from building them for many years due to the lack of decent kits in my preferred scale of 1/32, as well as, the inherent challenges of the breed. Then I heard of this fantastic, [...]

Tamiya Beaufighter Mk. VI

by Tony Prince on April 16, 2017 · in Aviation · 29 ≡

This kit was built originally as a RAAF Mk.21 shortly after the kit was released. I later felt that the foliage green overall finish didn't do it justice & decided to re-do it as a Mk. VI from 30 Squadron RAAF. This gave me a lot more [...]
