Andy`s 1/48 Beaufighter

[Jim R]

I'm in for this. Looks a nice kit and a good start already. Mind with so many followers with a cold, coughing and sneezing all over the place, I'll wear a mask and rub Vick on my chest. Hope that's OK

Thanks Jim,
It is a very nice kit from what I've experienced so far
I'm prone to picking up ANYTHING that's going around so you won't be alone with the mask there!!

Very nice Andy. Last shot shows how strange the Beaus tail looks compared to other aircraft doesn’t it.

A great choice Andy. I do like a nice Bea' although to be honest, not the version with the big nose.
But anyway, you certainly aren't hanging around with this one. If I could build at half your speed, that would be a HUGE improvement for me.

Progress slowed up somewhat for some reason.... apparently there was some kinda celebration going on so I was forced away from the bench to do "social things" !!
As for the "Big nose",this kit gives that option,part wise,(and it is EXTREMELY bulbous !!),but it doesn't appear in the actual instructions?!
ANYWAY,I have made some progress,an update of which will be posted tonight!!

You don't need a note Tony...
... The usual cheque will suffice!!
It really is quite lovely I think....and when put next to my Mossie it certainly does look VERY "Brutish".!!

Definitely a Beaufighter.

Particularly loving the round things on legs!! Still getting to grips with wingy things as I am, I believe they're called the undercarriage.....despite my wife thinking my Mossie ones were wheelbarrows......and she was being serious!!!!:astonished:

Looking forward to the rest of it Andy!
