Hi Rhys, welcome to Armorama
I built the Airfix Bristol Beaufighter about 40? years ago (RAF), then it was one of the best kits around and, like all the models my brothers and I built I enjoyed it very much. I now build in 1/48.
Where abouts in England do you live?

I built the Airfix Beau when it still cost less than one weeks pocket money! It was the best kit of that aircraft around then but then there were only that and the Frog version.

PS: I think I'm the only modeller in Sussex!
