Tamiya kit, check.
Simple paint scheme, check.
Resin cockpit.... there goes the quick and easy part...

Who knows I may only use a few bits. Haven't even taken the wrapper off the kit yet

Nice - I love the Beaufighter! I shall be looking forward to see how this comes together (and if you need the resin cockpit!)

Nice!
Beaufighter, on of my "all time favs" of RAF's twin engined aircrafts from WW2

Not hating at all, but... Putting a resin cockpit set into a Tamiya aircraft kit is like throwing a spike strip on a drag racing speedway... it’s gonna slow things down big time...

When I bought the kit the resin was part of the package. When I dig in we'll see how much I actually use
