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!

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.
