Lee White Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 No pics yet, but I'll start this with the ancient Revell kit, built OOB. Looking forward to finishing something!!! Out2gtcha, Shawn M, Telepatu and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I had some issues with the wing fit and I had to chop off the tops of the engine cylinders to make them fit inside the cowlings, if you want to close them up. Lee White 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Lund Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Cool plane - are you going for an oob build or some kind of upgrade ? I've got it myself and to me the cockpit in particular could do with a little love Lee White 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee White Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 OK, here is the obligatory box shot. When I said I was building an old kit, I meant it!! I think this might be the first issue from 1973. OK, I guess not. LSP won't accept my link to Imageshack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Nice to see one of these old kits being built! I have two in the stash myself. Lee White 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 The Beaufighter is one of my favourite subjects, sadly the Revell kit is one of the few that I have started and gave up on so I will be interested to see how you get on.
