And after several German models a British model. The Beaufighter of 272 Squadron, stationed in Malta in 1942.

The interiors.

The landing gear.

The finished model.

Beautiful beaufighter antonio , looks like a lovely kit to build .One small thing though , the collector rings on the engine cowlings were not copper coloured , they were made of mild steel and in service quickly turned from silver to a dark bronze/brown almost black colour , this could be mistaken for weathered copper. Only an observation , its still a fantastic build , cheers tony

I used the Dark Brown 'Washes MIG ". I apply a wash throughout the model. I wait about two hours and then clean with a dry cotton cloth.

Thanks for the tip. All I have on the model is in black and white. Can not figure out what color. On the sheet of Tamiya and from what I saw in several models ending all use bronze. As I also want to build another Beaufighter (night version) no longer will make the same mistake.
