I would hope he can get things cleaned up a bit, as any Beauf sets would be most welcome. Ive still got a Lodela Torp-Beau in my stash to complete! Yes, and Derek still has my bloody set of rockets that I lent him about 7 years ago!!! When I did mine I spent hours detailing the interior but ultimately it's only the cockpit and rear gunner's bit that can be seen.

Yep. The old Revell is as basic as the basicist thing at a basic contest and needs rescribing too. BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 yep - sure wish there was a good aftermarket set for the pit, the rear position, wheels, and wheel wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamF Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 This may be out of date because the last time I saw the Beaufighter at Duxford a couple of years ago it looked a bit more complete than these images show. http://fighter-collection.com/cft/beaufighter/ http://aviationanoraks.co.uk/Archive/2014/2014_11_21 Duxford hangars/index.html#Bristol Beaufighter.jpg Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhard Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) If only we can get a new tool 1/32 Beau. I will be all over it. Not that I have time right now. For the last 4 months my bench time was almost zero with work commitments. I have come to realize that my current job really only gives me about 6 months of hobby time, the rest I am either working or just too tired to sit and build. Sad really.

32tragic Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Yes excellent book. While it's nice to hear of some impending updates for the old Revell kit (which is in my stash) wouldn't it be great if we got a brand new Beau from the likes of HKM or Tamiya? (Tamiya do a 1:48 Beau and have followed previous 1:48 kits with 1:32 renditions, so why not?) LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 A bit off topic I suppose, but I have my fingers crossed for an eventual Lysander book from VW; now that would make my day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1to1scale Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I know there are some printed Shapeways parts in work now, and expected in early 2019. I have asked the person to keep me informed when he releases the parts. I will definately share when they come out.

LSP_Mike Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 There is a restored Beau down under in Oz, at Morrabain. I accidently walked over the rope to look inside. no climbing though, that would have been wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
