1/48 Tamiya Beaufighter MK X

Gallery Article by Stefaan Bouwer

 

This is my Beaufighter MK X NV479 flown by Maj R A Grater.  He was a Flight Commander of 19 SAAF Sqn that operated in the Mediterranean theatre.

It was airbrushed with Testors Modelmasters RAF Dark Slate Grey/Dark Sea Grey topside and Azure Blue underside.  To get the darkened panel line effect, I lightened the colours and sprayed it in the centre of certain areas.  

I used the rockets from my spares bin and did the few alterations to change the Tamiya 1/48 scale kit into a MK X.

I hope everyone likes it.
