Bristol Beaufighter TF.X

Scale:: 1:72
Status:: In progress

Another resurrection from 2017. The interior was painted but not much else. Went together OK so far. I did have issues with the three part engine cowlings which were a faf. Fitting the engines to the wings required trimming the lugs on the wings which were too big.

Next up is priming the engines to see how bad my fit and filling of the 3 part cowling was.

D'oh. Just realised that the nose piece didn't go on at the correct angle. So now to decide if I saw it off and reattach or not? For my skill level this will be a high risk manoeuvre but now I've noticed the mistake I think it will bug me forever if I don't try and fix it.
