I was just looking at the Model Monkey bits for the Beaufighter. It's beautiful stuff but if you get them all, it's easily 4x the price of the Revell kit if not more. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 With all the modern technology, not creating an accurate model is close to a crime. Unfortunately, it all seems to come at a price these days, as we demand so much and that just fuel to the price elevator. The Beaufighter will be awesome for sure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new tooled Beau is well past the due date ... AND the big plus is - you can (like with a basic A-20 airframe) get several versions for minimal alteration of the main shape which minimises additional cost in tooling. As long as it's accurate, MM components can be fit to either provide extra detail or corrections to internal errors (if present).

Saw that...here's the video. Not at all what I was guessing! An interesting subject.. The ubiquitous little M113 used by just about everyone for years! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Paul, there's going to be so much potential for the kit. Like you said, a lot of users and a lot of variants. I wouldn't mind an M163 one myself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind an M163 one myself. I'm pretty sure I'll go for this one....just imagine the aftermarket stuff that Will pop up! I remember one of these was in the movie The Killing Fields . I have the ancient Tamiya kit that I bought as a nostalgia thing....I built it as a kid and I thought I'd build it again....but this thing! That old 1/35 Tamiya kit will probably fit inside it! Here's a scene from that movie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
