**** DONE: 1/48 Beaufighter Mk.21 - Heavy Hitters II GB

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks a bunch guy's, your all to kind………………..but I love it!!

Terry me old mate, thanks for that late input……………another half day and you'd have been to late, BUT with painstaking care and a lot of biting of the lip, I managed to do a repaint job on the finished machine just before I was heading out to the shed for the final dull coat spray.

So folks, this one is done and finished pics will be posted sometime in the next couple of months…………give or take a week or two. But in the meantime, here's a little preview.

Looks the 'bees knees' Vic, and I had no idea she was so big in 1:48 till I saw that pic of you holding her!!!

Fantastic job on the RP repaint too! (Good info there Terry!)

Sure do my friend! The painting side is out of the question till I can get my paints and stuff shipped over to Ireland, but could commence with the construction!

(He he... there's one born every minute...! )

But really, mine was delayed by something at the time (as always), would be bloody nice to get into them though. Plan to do them production line style - 4 aircraft: 3 detailed to the hilt , one a 'relief' build, thrown together from the inaccurate off cuts.

But that, dear reader, is another story... now back to your scheduled program...

Many thanks guys, but credit must go to the kit, all bits just seemed to fall into place with the exception of the fully built undercarriage legs, and that I feel was my fault for trying to be smart and knowing I could do it better than the instructions.

 

[Airframes]

Very nice indeed Vic.

 

[Andy70]
