Dang it!

.....OK ....rockets!

 

... lol ... better forget ordinance stores there Mike - they have us covered! ... I'm with you on the Beau though!

 

I'll have one each way to avoid the crossfire, though :D ...

 

mmmmm ... the Beau' does have a couple of extra Brownings   :innocent:

How's the old Revell Beaufighter? I'm assuming it's just a matter of time before it's re-issued, just like the 1/32 Mosquito and a ton of other old kits.

 

Apparently it is/has/will be re-popped ... and Derek is working on some AM at some point ...

I think the Revell TorBeau is a pretty cool kit.

It comes with vacuform and photoetch parts.

I bought AM wing rockets, rear firing MG and porcupine exhausts.

I think it will look pretty tough when finished.

Bill Cross,

 YES- I would rather see a Beau than a Mossie! Especially one with a torpedo. Can't get that with a Mossie.

  .....wait for it.... :DodgeBall:

I think the challenge here is the Mosquito is much better-known and would sell well. The Beaufighter might not sell as well, discouraging Tamiya from releasing another twin-engine LSP.

Absolutely right - I'd love to see the Beaufighter in 1/32 from Tamiya, but they'd be bonkers to do so!

Thanks for THAT gratuitous pic Kev!

 Hopefully at least original WWII color?

 

Either that, or a poorly "colorized" version. I have no real idea.

 

How about,... Mosquito without Exocet missiles? :)

A thought

 

Airfix has an outstanding Mosquito in 1/24. Why they do not produce it also in 1/32?

In General why they do not produce their 2 gorgeous airplanes “Mosquito and Typhoon†in 1/32.

If this is a company philosophy then its stupid and other companies will take their not existing 1/32 profit.

Just a thought and maybe this has been already discussed and was not in my radar.

Regards
