That's a great looking Beaufighter that you have there . I really like how you haven't "gone to town" on the weathering.
I built one of these kits ages ago and I also found that it was a joy to build. Shame I couldn't do it any justice in the painting department

Hi Mark
What a fantastic representation of the Beaufighter, I realy like your attention to detail. I have a couple of Tamiya Beaufighters in my stash and I am now looking forward to building them. Thanks for posting Mark.

A great model Mark. That's what I'm aspiring to. The finish on the paintwork is awesome.
Thanks for posting the pics
