I got the beaufighter finished off today. With the last few bits added, it was attached to the base. The tractor and trailer are from the Airfix bomber re-supply set. The 2 figures are also Airfix, and i never thought i would get to use these 2 figures, i must have a dozen of them in my figures box.
Another nice kit from Airfix, well detailed and nice to build.

That is outstanding!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Looks damn good Bish! I do like these airfield scenes that you come up with!

Fantastic. The different color cowl rings are a nice touch

Re: Airfix 1/72nd Beaufighter TFX
Thanks guys.
I wasn't sure aboput painting the front of the exhaust right white. The decal instructions called for it and the photo's of the aircraft did show it a lighter colour. But i can't figure out why and none of the other aircraft in the unit seem to have it. I just went for it anyway.
