ade rowlands Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Well I’d take a Beaufighter if that’s what it turns out to be, I like it’s brutish appearance. Probably the same reason I prefer the P-47 Razorback to Bubbletop versions. I’d also like it if it turned out to be a P-38J or Earlier P-38. But please HKM just hurry up and get on with the British Phantom release.

He didn't have half the tools to work with to find a vaccine for Polio like today's lot have got. Graham That could be true. It'll probably mutate into something less dangerous by the time a vaccine can be made in quantity. I rarely go out more than once a month anyway, just as I have done for five years, so for me it's business as usual but without live tennis on TV.

cbk57 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I looked at aero scale, there are more photos there. It looks really nice to my eye. Does anyone know what the tube attached to the right side of the cockpit is? It looks like it is related to a flare pistol which looks in another photo like a flare pistol handle is attached but to me that doe snot look like it goes there. Anyway in my opinion the kit looks really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only that I'm not likely to know what it is (or be able to announce it myself) for a little while yet, due to the circumstances described above. Kev Heck Kev, at the rate Australia is going, some of us might acquire this kit before you do! If I get one first, I'll certainly tell you what it is, if you'd like ;-) - Dennis S.

Radders Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 If it is a Beaufighter, only one option would get me to buy one & that would be one of these. Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Any Hercules engined Beau kit could deliver that result with fairly minimal conversion or aftermarket. Even the Revell one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
