So I've recently learnt that there have been many WW2 aircraft that were either built as one variant but then later converted to another variant, or ordered as one variant but switched to another variant at some point during construction. The end result is usually an aircraft with a bunch of externally visible oddities (e.g. patch panel and "bumps"). As a modeler, I try to capture as much as I can about every aircraft I model.
I've now got my eyes set on Beaufighter Mk.X RD253 for my next project. I've been looking around for information on this aircraft and found this document containing its history: Beaufighter-X-RD253.pdf. It's obvious that RD253 is an Mk.X, but the question I have is whether it was also ordered as an Mk.X. Does anyone know where I might be able to confirm this? Any bit of information is welcome, including educated guesses!
