Looks Great this is my first time ever seeing a Beaufighter. German and British had some odd looking aircraft.

No underside photos?


The bottom side really doesn’t have anything on it. Thy didn’t put any underside markings on these so I didn’t bother since the only thing to see is the landing gear a you can see it in these photos.

I enjoy reading about the history of the models you build included in your posts.

This was the night fighter version of the Beaufighter. There was also a torpedo bomber version and a found attack version as well.

Thanks. I already have my next build laid out and ready to go. It’s a 1:35 scale M60A3. Right now, I’m leaning toward doing something like this…



I’ll probably start it next Saturday morning when I get up to watch college football. We don’t have any plans other than church Sunday morning, so I hope to make some good progress.

M60A3
—My brother was an M60 mechanic in the Army in the early 70s. Awesome craft, he said.

If I was a few years older, this is the tank I’d have served on when I was in the army. A few units still had the M60A3s in the late 80s. I loved the Abrams, but always kinda envied the “Dino tankers” for all the extra room they had compared to us.

That’s the British for you, they designed and built some of the most beautiful aircraft of the war…




And the ugliest…

As always, great job.....and screw the DVs.

Give this one a try, the B-17 that had it's cockpit blown off. I bet you could do it.

Is that a dipole antenna on the nose? Radar I'm assuming.

Nice job and I like the aeroplanes better but they seem easier to build (models). Of course I'm speculating

I’ve thought about trying to do some battle damage. There are some builders out there who do some pretty amazing work, especially when it comes to battleships…

Looks great as always but your wing decals seem to be sticking out. It's that a revel kit
