Title: 2/72nd Beaufighter
Post by: Phil Portway on January 11, 2025, 10:03:32 AM

Completely wrong for the Med/Desert probably, But I made this 1/72nd Beaufighter about 10 years ago and only just painted it and as I only have Desert Brits ( no NWE Brits), I used artistic licence. some of decals broke and deteriorated being about 20years old, so did a "patch up"

Lovely work on one of my favourite aircraft.  Maybe I'm biased as my father flew in an all black Beaufighter MkII F night fighter.

Your one looks perfect for the Desert Air Force.  Thanks for posting.
