Hi everyone, here is my completed 1/48 Tamiya Beaufighter in markings from the famous Green Ghost Squadron.  I added some of the great Ultracast seats and a set of rockets made by Red Roo to add some finesse to the already great kit.

When I was researching this particular plane the photo's I found showed that it was heavily weathered as you would expect in this theatre and I used a combination of techniques to try to achieve this result including the usual pre-shading, post shading with heavily thinned (Isopropyl Alcohol) black and buff and finally a generous amount of Mig Pigments.  Tamiya & Mr Hobby paints were used throughout.

Overall I enjoyed this build and can recommend the kit to all.
