A most unusual B.Beaufighter Mk If

Folk’s

This Mk If Beaufighter, is modified from the 48 Tamiya Mk VI Night Fighter kit. As one of two that were converted to Tac Reconn, even thow they were armed, they flew with the DAF in North Africa, as photo reconn aircraft along the Turkeyish Coastline, it’s sister aircraft was black.
This model is used for marketing my resin products for the Mk I -IV Beaufighter, the only thing I did not fit to this model are the retracted wing flaps.

Also note that forward of the Observors Capola is a raised seem, this is not on the 48 Tamiya kits, but it is on the scale drawings and the Hasegawa 72 scale bird.

Nicely done, Rob.

interesting scheme - well done!

Well done, love the paint scheme.

Cool! I have a real fondness for those aircraft in PR Blue… Nicely done! Thanks for sharing.

Looks great! My nightfighter is getting closer to the bench every day. Thanks for the pics.

Thats a great looking Beaufighter lobbie. Maybe after I finish off a few kits that I have that is definately one of my must haves to get. Problem is I have close to 100 kits that I have to finish lol.

Thanks Guy’s for the encouraging words
