Dominic Thomas Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 The next in my current fad of British night fighters, the Bristol Beaufighter Mk.I in the markings of 604 Sqn in late 1940 when based at RAF Middle Wallop. This is the Hasegawa 1/72 kit, straight from the box. A lot easier to build than the Havoc. Hopefully Airfix will produce this mark from their quality moulds soon.

SD45elect2000 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Nice model, nice setting and figures. What’s not to like ? I think I may have this one. Please keep them coming! Randall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic Thomas Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Coastal Kits background and figures from Modelu or 3DJson (both sets of figures in use to the point where I forget who supplied which !) These props add a bit of depth and character which many of us on here (and elsewhere) find are now indispensable. Watch out for more night fighters over the next couple of days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Lovely job. Loving these night fighters, I think black must be my colour 🙂 Never seen the copper/bronze cowling ring and exhaust before. Is that due to heat or manufactured purposefully? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian It’s my take on the Bristol engine exhaust ring. I won’t claim to have it spot on, but after trying many shades, I kind of like this one. Might be a bit bright but I like the way it drys and fades. Thanks for your positive comment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 There's an interesting thread on collector ring colours in the Humbrol Tips & Craft sub-forum IIRC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
