Bristol Beaufighter

[scotto978]

Hi everybody. This is my first every group build so forgive me if I'm not very good.
I chose this kit because it just looks a awesome looking plane.

I'm going to be doing the colour scheme from the box. This one

[Willem]

You are dead right, it is an awesome aircraft and you've picked a great and iconic scheme to do.

I've got a bit of a soft spot for the Beau so I'll be following your build.

I hope that you have lots of fun on your first group build.

[Joesdad]

I love the Beau too scotto, good luck mate

[scotto978]

Well. The wife has just messaged me and said the dogs have destroyed all the Halloween decorations and my model. I hadn't even started it. I'll see when I get in what sort of state its in

[SMAddict66]

Oh mate, Halloween decorations are one thing, but a Beaufighter, I hope you love those dogs...

[scotto978]

Oh they are forgiven already. I've got a 6 month old pup so we shouldn't of let them near it to be fair. Only minor damage anyway plus a few eaten pieces lol

[scotto978]

The damage

[scotto978]

[scotto978]

Not too bad really considering they are quite big dogs. I don't know what pieces have been eaten yet either. The Mrs wouldn't check there stools either

You might wanna have a look on eBay for the missing parts. Sometimes people sell various bits of models. Good luck with the build. Looking forward to seeing it.

[scotto978]

Cheers Gareth. I'm just going build it " what's left in the box". I think it's pretty much complete

[LM951]

Tamiya is GREAT about their replacement parts. Just call them and they can get you pretty much whatever parts you need.

This looks very exciting.
