I know of two kits of this aircraft. One by Kopecky available via airalex.com (although not CURRENTLY available) and one supposedly by Revell. I cannot seem to find neither in stock anywhere. Can anyone help me with this?
PS. A Beaufighter in 1/144 would work as well.
Thanks!

Hi Ion
Revell definitely used to do a 1/144 scale Typhoon in the 1970s as part of their Mini-Series. I haven't seen one for years - but you might find one on E-Bay or somewhere like Comet Miniatures - Comet have a regular turnover in 2nd-hand "loft-clearance" collections as well as their Sci-Fi stuff, so it might well be worth e-mailing them.
All the best

I am positively sure that Minicraft has a Typhoon. You better check the usual Hong Kong sites. I seen some in the local site here in Turkey; keep it in mind as the worst case scenario. For the Beaufighter chech the FE Resin company. Thay may have it.

I saw a Spitfire in 1/144 in Sweet's mox style too. But it wrote "Bitter" on the company logo with the very exact same font as Sweet. Actually I am confused her her.

Hi Ion, regarding a 1/144 Beaufighter, I have a copy of Scale Aviation Modeller International from November 2001 with a review of a 1/144 resin Sea Hawk kit. The review mentions that the makers range includes other aircraft including a Beaufighter, no details given though.
The maker is (or was) Air Spede Models, 4 St. John's Mews, Victoria Grove, Southsea, Portsmouth, Hants., PO5 1LL. Might be worth your while to drop them a line, see if they are still in business and still do the Beaufighter.
