1/48 Tamiya Beaufighter

[Paulw]

I got kinda frustrated with trying to set a camo job on the Uhu and so I put it up for a bit to cool off and so I wont toss it against the wall.
I started this today and this is how far I have gotten working on it most of the day.

I began with the decals and this time I had a complete set so I did the pit

and I was blown away how small some of them actually were

All-in-all it is a super nice kit with some little gaps but that can be handled.

I am going to see if I can complete this kit by Tuesday noon.

Comment welcome

Gee Hubert, what a coincidence. I happen to have those same markings in my decal set. Just for you my friend.

Still in the works Les just dont know how I am really going to go about it yet. (with out stuffing it up)

 

[Paulw]

for the last two months I have been doing this as bits and pieces and this is how far I have come so far. Almost for the total unveiling.

Yes Hubert I did it in a Polish squadron, Sorry but no insignia is called for.

Very nice Paul. If you decided to do another Aviaology makes a nice set for a 404 Sqn RCAF bird. I have them in 1/32.

I just saw Adams T-33 and I doubt I can even come close to how outstanding that thing is.

I have some faux pas. I wont point them out but you can get the gist of the build. I am finished with it as far as Ill go for now. Ill do some more as I get bored with the other ones I have on the bench.

and this was me after the completion

It looks great to me. The copper manifolds on the cowling leading edge look really good. The streaking from cordite gives it a war weary look. Well done

Oh whatever Paul. This is a DANG good build. Like I said before I really like it.
