My new Beau
Posted by Bossman on Friday, October 7, 2016 12:03 PM

Some of you may have read my previous post about the thing I had going with a Blenheim. . . 

Well, thanks to Hornby/Airfix, I have a new Beau (TF. X)

 

Over the last year or so - my stash has become significantly more RED !

 

And I like it !

Very nice stash.  I have yet to build a Airfix kit.

Seems like I've been seeing airfix kits popping up all over the place lately. Really wanna try one out.

I can heartily recommend all of the "new airfix" kits I've built: Harrier GR.1 & Hurricane Mk. I.  The Blenheim Mk IV had some small fit issues with the Engine nacelles, but I'll know how to correct them now on the Mk. I.   Shouldn't be too hard.  I'm about halfway through the Swordfish and it's really VERY nice.  The other unbuilt kits look great in the box.  Can't wait to get started on them all.

I built the new P-51D. Really nice kit. Only complaint I had was the mounting point of the antenna. Impossible to get off without breaking it.

Very nice!

I have become a big "new Airfix" groupie. 

That Beau is a nice kit!

Nice indeed. I have two of their 1/48 P-40Bs on pre-order which I will be tearing into immediately. I'm told they should arrive at the end of the month.
