About product

Beaufighter Mk.I and VI — flat horizontal tailplane (conversion, 1:72)

This resin conversion set from the Czech brand AML deals with one of the main recognition features of the early versions of the Bristol Beaufighter: the horizontal tailplane without dihedral. The set replaces the relevant kit parts with castings of the flat tailplane, so from a standard kit you can build a faithful Beaufighter Mk.I or Mk.VI in 1:72 scale. It is an accessory for a kit, not a stand-alone aircraft model.

The real subject

The Bristol Beaufighter was a British twin-engine heavy fighter of the Second World War powered by Bristol Hercules radial engines. It proved itself as a radar-equipped night fighter, as a ground attack aircraft and as a torpedo bomber over the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The early Mk.I and Mk.VI versions were marked out by the flat horizontal tailplane, and the pronounced dihedral came only with the later variants to improve longitudinal stability. Anyone who wants to build an early version needs exactly the flat tailplane that this set supplies.

Tips for working with resin

Wash the castings in warm soapy water before gluing to remove any mold release agent. Cut the casting blocks off with a fine saw or a sharp knife and sand the marks down; always protect your airways when sanding resin. Glue the parts with cyanoacrylate glue, try the joint with the fuselage dry first and fill any gaps with filler.

Who the accessory is for

  • For modelers who want to build a faithful early Beaufighter Mk.I or Mk.VI.
  • For advanced builders with experience of resin accessories.
  • For admirers of the Royal Air Force of the Second World War in 1:72 scale.

The accessory is supplied as unpainted resin castings and requires a base kit of the aircraft. Glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No, this is a conversion accessory. To use it you need an ordinary Beaufighter kit in 1:72 scale, whose tail surfaces you replace.

Cyanoacrylate glue, or epoxy. Ordinary cement for plastic models will not bond resin.

The Mk.I and Mk.VI versions were built with a horizontal tailplane without dihedral. Dihedral came only with the later variants to improve longitudinal stability.
