Beaufighter TFX
this here is the Matchbox kit in 1/72. A club buddy had this on the cheap, and I figured it would be a fun little build. Handpainted, with decals out of the spares bag

Thats a fine job you've done on that one. Well done.
You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
