Hi there I really like the Beaufort (and I really, really want to finally see one in 1:48 - hint, hint...), but, good grief, those panel lines look heavy! All the best Rowan

I'm gutted, I think it looks dreadful. Just don't know what Airfix are on with their panel lines. Reminds me of a Corgi diecast model.
