I Recently got given Revell`s 1/32 Beaufighter as a late Chrimbo pressie from the SWMBO,i`ve had a look at the wee timorous beastie and neither colour scheme in the box appeals to me,HOWEVER, while doing a bit of "Googleing" i came across a desert colour scheme for the mark VI that i really like (and would look stonking next to my Desert Hurricane!).

My question to my Learned Collegues out there is (A) Is there any major physical differences between the two and (B) If there are,what would it take to transform one to the other ?

Just from memory, the desert version would have different airfilters and different engines. The engines wouldn't look any different from the outside. I'll see if I can find some pics.

Mk VI


Mk 1



See the difference in the intakes on top of the nacelles

Not to mention the tailplanes ... apart from that the airframes were fairly similar.

Thank Guys,I feel a liitle scratchbuilding coming on !!
