Kit – 1/48 Tamiya Bristol Beaufighter TF.Mk.X
Decals – ROP o.s Mk.21 Australian Beaufighter in service pt4
This is Tamiya’s TF.Mk.X kit which has the parts to do the RAAF version, (but it does not tell you this in the instructions)
I filled in the wing gun ports as the rocket version did not have wing guns, and added the sperry autopilot which is included in the kit.
The main colour is Lifecolor RAAF dark green, other paints used were Tamiya, Vallejo acrylics. For something different I used AK True Metal (gunmetal) for the engines, and it worked a treat. Flory dark dirt wash and Vallejo satin varnish finish it off. I used EZ line for the antenna cable.
