Hi Sweb. Give me a shout if you get stuck on the info. Off the top of my head, only No.80 Sqn., R.A.F. operated the Mk24, as per the kit decals, although other units of the RAF and R.Aux.A.F. operated the Mk22.
Thanks for the info on the Beau, Bill. Sounds like I thought, just right for a load of scratch-built detail work! I'll more than likely be doing it in a Middle East RAF scheme, for the MTO GB when it comes around.
Sweb, I'll start looking for info for you. I think I should be able to come up with enough to at least help you narrow the field a bit. Coincidentally, I've had the Airfix 1/48th kit in my stash for over ten years now - eventually going to do it as an aircraft from my local R.Aux.A.F. Squadron in the late '40's. The 1/32nd version, when I get it, will be a 'doner' to make a MKXIV.
No problems mate, I hope to have something for you by the end of this week.
BTW, the MkXIV will be the second one I've done. The first 'spun-in' of the top of a cabinet! It'll basically be the nose area, including prop, the radiators and undercart, plus a few more bits, mated to a modified fuselage and wings, hopefully from the Hasegawa MkV kit. Plus a lot of scratch-building of course!
recived the model kits this morning and going by the boxes the beaufighter is going to be a BIG model.
the box it came in is 21.1/2 inch long.
going to take some time to build these models.
