Thanks Patrick\ said:Old, but hopefully gold eh Ian? Those decals might need replacing though
Thanks Joe I just hope I can pull it off.\ said:Great idea Ian, that's going to be awesome.
The second one is yes Dave\ said:Great idea Ian. That's the new mould airfix Beaufighter isn't it?.
Yes thats the sum of it Robert\ said:This is going to be interesting ( you'll have to excuse my slow brain ( busy at work lately) your building two kits of the same aircraft but the first will be the wreck as depicted in the pics and the second will be the Aircraft as it was before the ditching?
Great idea too by the way and I'll defo be watching with interest

Robert
Thanks for the offer Jambo I will take it up if I need any many thanks again\ said:Having just built a matchbox Beaufighter as part of the 70's group build let me know if any spares or transfers are helpful, I got a decent sheet of transfers and only used the Burma ones.

Thanks Tony the one I'm doing was a Mk VI but I will still need to do some changes to it. It all adds to the fun.\ said:AAH ! all becomes clear Ian! You had me worried there for a bit- I thought 'hes never going to tackle the ancient Airfix beau when theres a brand new tooling just come out!?' but for what its going to be the old one is perfect . Great idea , watch out for the differences between the mark 1c and the kits mk X , mainly the angle of the tailplanes and the torpedo shackles and rockets, you might have to scratch a df loop and perspex cover too but nothing major, looking forward to seeing this one develop , cheers tony
To be honest Ralph I'm really looking forward to starting this one, something I can really get my teeth into. But it will probably be a letdown in the end.\ said:This is going to be great.
