ICM Models 1/48th scale war weary Bristol Beaufort torpedo bomber/patrol bomber of 217 Squadron Royal Air Force,Ceylon, April 1944.
It is shown with the RAF Pacific theater markings which took the red circle out of the center of the roundel because anything with a red circle was fair game to fighter pilots and anti-aircraft gunners.

Excellent work! I enjoy these threads. I do an occasional model, but you and Darth blow me away with your detail.

I enjoy watching skimming these threads but I’m also waiting for one of yall to have a “from my modeling desk” thread and have nothing but pics of yourselves modeling on the desk just to throw us all for a loop.

Dude do you think we get down votes now? I can't speak for Darth but for me it would definitely be NSFAAA (not safe for anyone at any time)

Why do people take the time to open these threads just to down vote

Looks great. People suck.

Nice, very well done.

Also I see the same a-hole downvoters are that hit Darth are doing the same to you.

Very nice.

My dad and I built a B52 model one time. Hung with fishing line from my ceiling.

Totally don't care. I don't post for upvotes or downvotes, I post to share the results of my labor of love.
