Ah, then it is the ex-Monogram kit, which is pretty good, if careful when aligning everything. It would take more than just the engine intakes to make the earlier model, as the nacelles were shallower and a different shape overall. If you want another 'J' or 'H', I can reccomend the Academy kit, and if their early version is as good, it's well worth having.

The XIX is a great score. Super kit. Beware the oversized roundels though, as well as the wrong coloured spinner and the absence of underwing serials .

Like the look of the Beaufighter, I read somewhere that the FAA flew these but can't track down any aftermarket decals. That's an RAF Coastal Command kite on the box I'm guessing?

Nice scores guys...I want to get that XIX myself...

The Airfix Beau is alright, but let down in certain areas, especially the engines.

I remember building the Beaufighter when I was a kid -late seventies- I remember it being a nice kit for the time, much better than the other Airfix kits I was building then.

You'll never guess what it's for! Tiny little beast.
