That's it, the stitching and rib tapes give the right impression. Cees -

Peter, You don't represent the rudder ribs that usually show very subtle beneath the fabric covering? Every update is a masterclass in new tecniques. Cees -
Revell Beaufighter X
Wingco57 replied to Wingco57's topic in LSM 1/32 and Larger Aircraft Ready for Inspection
As Ben said they are cheap, basic but great fun. If you foul it up no worries, as opposed to a state of the art kit wirth over 100 ( fill in your currency). It could use a lot of aftermarket though. Strangely only Quickboost do an exhaust set. I have an almost complete Lodela Beau left. Perhaps it would be nice to use it to cobble together a blenheim. Cees -
It is finished after over two years. This is the ancient revell kit dating back to the early seventies. I always wanted a late type Beau, but Revell gives us a very early IF with ugly canopy framing and the flat tailplane. So some kitbashing was needed. The interior was completely reworked with a lot of scratchbuilding and using an early Eduard etch set from a lodela Beau kit that I found seperately on ebay. The tailplane was modified and lenghtened. The entire kit was rescribed. Nacelles heavily reworked as well as the gun throughs and shell exit ports. Quickboost exhausts really improved the look. The propblades were reworked and Rutman propbosses used. Also a lodela canopy set was used. I hope you like it, I do Cheers Cees Cheers Cees

can paragon 2 stage merlins be used with HK mossie?
Wingco57 replied to simmo.b's topic in Modelling Discussion
IIRC the horizontal tailplane was increased in span on later Models, possibly the two stage versions. My books on the Mossie are at jeroen's at the moment so cannot check. Cees -
Very nice package. As the fw resembles the Dutch g1. Perhaps that would be a nice follow up. Cees
