About product

AML 1:48 Beaufighter, Resin Nose Section with a Radome

A resin accessory from the Czech maker AML for the Bristol Beaufighter in 1:48 scale. It replaces the nose section of the fuselage so that it matches the night fighter versions with a radome. The casting has a fine surface and, once the casting block is cut off, it is glued straight onto the plastic kit. The set is cut for the Beaufighter model from Tamiya.

The real subject

The Bristol Beaufighter grew out of the Beaufort torpedo bomber and became one of the most successful British night fighters. It was powered by two Bristol Hercules radial engines and carried exceptionally heavy armament in the nose and in the wing. It was the night fighters that received a radar in the nose; the late versions had its antenna hidden under a radome, so they are easy to recognize head-on.

Building and painting tips

First wash the part in lukewarm water with detergent to clear it of the remains of the mold release agent. Cut the casting block off with a saw, not with cutters, and level the surface on sandpaper laid on glass. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue. Fill and sand the joint against the plastic, and only then spray the primer. Work with respiratory protection when sanding resin.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of British night fighters in 1:48
  • Owners of the Beaufighter kit from Tamiya
  • Modelers who want an accurate nose for a particular version
  • More experienced builders used to working with resin

The set is an accessory for a kit and does not replace the kit. Paints, glue and the model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
