AJohnson Posted August 25, 2022 Author #31 Posted August 25, 2022 I thought some of you might like a few shots of the recently finished Beaufort compared to other Bristol types from the same stable I have made in recent years. A Blenheim (in French colours - Sacre bleu!) and a Beaufighter; probably the best of the three in terms of war record.

AJohnson Posted August 25, 2022 Author #32 Posted August 25, 2022 And finally.... I'm also on with this, if anyone would be interested in a log of this and another trip down 'memory' lane?

Okay guys you have twisted my arm, but I might not get chance to start the log for a few days yet. It is Airfix's new mould (but not without some very well documented errors - more of that later!)

king derelict Posted August 25, 2022 #38 Posted August 25, 2022 Oh yes please a Mosquito build log. That is a great aircraft. When I was a young apprentice at hawker Siddeley (formerly de Havilland) they still had a flying Mossie and the test pilots used to take it up regularly. It was wonderful to be out on the airfield dawdling over some errand and watch it take off and fly low passes over the airfield. Its an unforgettable sound. The Beaufort came out beautifully. You did a great job on the cockpit masking and the paint scheme is excellent. great job. Nice to see a Beaufighter too. I always thought that was a great aircraft.

Edwardkenway Posted August 30, 2022 #41 Posted August 30, 2022 Very nice finish! With the others in the stable, it makes a good looking trio. Most definitely in for the Mossie.

Danstream Posted September 4, 2022 #42 Posted September 4, 2022 As already said by others, the matt finish came out very nice and the transparent parts look busy and tidy. It is a lovely model.
