The Canadian Air and Space Museum is in the process of tearing down their Beaufighter and restoring it.


I thought some folks here might be interested in their photo gallery.

Thanks Matt, interior shots help when painting even though this aircraft is a bit of a bitzer with bits of a TT.X used back in the 60's when it was rebuilt the first time round.

If you love the Beau like I do you can't have enough photos of them.

Who makes the Beaufighter in 1/72 that is recommendable? My last two twin engine builds in 1/72 required way too much putty.
