DocRob Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Nice Martin, coming together. Never thought about using white glue as filler and saved that info on my brain-drive . Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chek Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Good going Martin, those cannon look like actual heavy armament. I guess the relative simplicity of the main gear bays is to be welcomed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1to1scale Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 you really should check out the model monkey cockpit, it would save you a lot of work. The plane looks great so far! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 Thank You gentlemen. appreciate your comments. Mark, thank you for brining the Model Monkey to my attention, it is a beautiful set. However I already ordered some bezels from Airscale to recreate the instrument panel. The idea behind this build is to keep aftermarket to the bare minimum and see how far I can get with just basic skills and little perseverance ....... look squirrel 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had planned to scratch build the cockpit on the Beau like you did, but after I saw this set, my figers overrode my brain and clicked the order button. Maybe you can you the drawings to help you scratch build your cockpit details? Checkout the thread on LSP for details. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrankyCrafstman Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Great work Martin I just got my 1/32 Beaufighter about a week ago. I plan on doing a build along of it, so will be using some of your ideas on mine. Ron G 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Thank you for your support gentlemen. In the meanwhile I hollowed up the fuel dumps. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrankyCrafstman Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hey Martin Just found some 1/32 British landing lights from brengun models, also air intake grills and gun site for Beaufighter on Ebay. I got started on mine, it's going to be alot of work getting this old war horse up to todays standards. Please show as many pictures of the wheel wells as possible, thats one area I'm going to need help on. Your doing great work so far.

Martinnfb Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hi Ron, Brengun makes some neat stuff, I am using their "tripod" lights assembly frames as well, but not just yet. First I have to close-up the fuselage and finish the general butchery Like the pilot's seat for example 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
