Alrighty then, I'm making some space on the bench by clearing out some of the projects I've had on hold for so long. Tonight I brought this one back to the front of the line.

It's my Reverse Lend Lease Beaufighter

Where I left off was with a completed USAAF Beaufighter from the 417th night fighter unit but it was missing the proper night fighter equipment. Finally a few months ago a fellow modeler from Poland (WOjtek 8)) offered to help me out. Here is what he sent me.

In this DVD box came all the needed hand build antennas and and diagrams on where to put them.

More to follow

I started with the nose antenna

Here are the wing antennas

To end the night I painted all of the bits

Next will be some weathering and a flat cote

Thanks for looking
