vvwse4 Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 Did some work on the inside and the landing gear 110_5528 by Rick Martens, on Flickr 110_5529 by Rick Martens, on Flickr Working on the internals, starboardside cockpit done. Made the sidewalls behind the cockpit to cover the area to the observers place. I know most of it will not be visible but I know it is there. Ran out of ribbing material... 110_5534 by Rick Martens, on Flickr IP done with a little help from Airscale. Used all references I could get. Maybe not all that accurate but with some paint on it, it might just look right. 110_5536 by Rick Martens, on Flickr Starboard side console done 110_5539 by Rick Martens, on Flickr Made a start with the floor, all out of Evergreen card. 110_5543 by Rick Martens, on Flickr Also made a start with the landing gear. Filled the ejectionmarks and hollowed the wheelhubs. 110_5544 by Rick Martens, on Flickr The bench is the usual mess... Hope you like it. Kagemusha, D.B.

JefH Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Beautiful. I wish there was a new tool beaufighter because I'd love to build the plane, but know I can't scratch build like you're doing. Cheers Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Great work on the interior details! That kind of chaotic workplace seems familiar to me Cheers Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Looking good, I really like these old kits, built quite a few in my time but alas the Beaufighter beat me, I started to build a new interior but in the end it went into the "Too Hard" box and is now in the loft. I know that there are after market parts out there now but I would prefer a new tool, who knows if and when one will arrive, but with 200 kits in the loft I have enough to get on with.

vvwse4 Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Finished building the cockpit. 110_5545 by Rick Martens, on Flickr Overvieuw, dials are from Airscale, wiring is made out of lead wire. All the rest is Evergreen and the sparebox. 110_5547 by Rick Martens, on Flickr The tub and the port side, all the levers are made out of small strips of metal. 110_5550 by Rick Martens, on Flickr Instrument panel, both sidewalls and the steering wheel. 110_5551 by Rick Martens, on Flickr The seat, the belts are made out of an empty cheese tube, the rest is Evergreen 110_5555 by Rick Martens, on Flickr Dryfit 110_5554 by Rick Martens, on Flickr Port sidewall 110_5556 by Rick Martens, on Flickr Slowly it comes together now. I am quite happy the way it turns out so far. Rick Trak-Tor, Derek B, Pete Fleischmann and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STWilliams Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 This is looking rather good. I know the kit gets a poor press, you can tell from the very cheap prices the kits available for, but is it that bad? Is there much AM out there for it? It's one cool looking aeroplane, the work on this one is very good indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
