petrov27 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 They look very nice - you probably figured this question might be coming but any chance those Beau engines/cowlings might get scaled up a bit, to say 1/32? Piprm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I knew the question was coming, we will look at up scaling in the new year, but no promises just yet. without fail you release one scale and nobody buys but all ask for another scale or version etc:) Pete Fleischmann and Piprm 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 The Vulcan intakes look great! Although not my normal scale, the AF Vulcan is a blast from my past building a 72nd scale Vulcan. Will need to pick one of those kits up, along with some intakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be happy to send you money now, before you even make them! P Piprm and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pip I am still working on this option and I am sure it will happen just not sure when at this point in time. as you will see with the 1/48 scale options there are quite a lot of variables with these cowlings, I am still hoping to do the really early cowling as the exhaust is quite different on those. Making an adapter to work and fit the 1/32 kit will be the part that takes a little more time, as I say along with all the other projects that are rolling along.

Ali62 Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Three more options in 1/48 scale for Beaufighter cowlings. Basically the same as the previous release but with smooth cowling options and the options to fit the Tamiya kits.here are the links below. https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/bristol-beaufighter-replacement-cowlings-and-engines-for-the-revell-mk-if https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/bristol-beaufighter-replacement-cowlings-and-engines-for-the-tamiya-kits-mk-if https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/bristol-beaufighter-replacement-cowlings-and-engines-for-tamiya-kits-nf-mk-i Pete Fleischmann and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is encouraging news- If I had to pick a first choice, I’d go for the Mk VI. Model Monkey has sold a bunch of Mk VI interiors, and I’m betting those same folks would jump at engines for the same- cheers Pete Kagemusha and D Bellis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali62 Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 Thanks Pete, Kerry is looking at the design and scaling the set up. However he does have a lot on his plate right now, so I am giving him space to work through a lot of his personal issues at the moment, but I know progress is being made.

scvrobeson Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I'm guessing that the Vulcan intake is designed for the 2021 kit? Anyone know if it will fit the original 1983 one? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Yes it is for the new kit, I have a customer who is going to try it in the old kit, but I think a lot of work will be required, to make them work. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Just received my two sets of Beaufighter engines, and they are absolutely stunning. I ordered two sets of the earlies which are destined for a conversion of the HK 1/48 Lancaster to a Mk.II using the old Paragon set. These are a very, very significant upgrade over the original conversion parts! Thanks Ali! - Dennis S. Mount Juliet, TN USA Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali62 Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 Thank you Dennis, well your Lancaster project sounds very interesting, looking forward to seeing that one being done. Dennis7423 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
