About product

The Beaufighter in 1:48 and the nose with a camera

This accessory replaces the front fuselage section of the British Beaufighter with a part that, according to the name, has room for a camera. The scale is 1:48. Alongside this variant the brand also offers a nose in the basic form, so you can choose according to which aircraft you want to depict. The rest of the airframe stays unchanged.

What the camera nose was for

Combat aircraft carried photographic equipment for documenting attacks and for reconnaissance; on twin-engine machines the camera fitted into exactly this front fuselage section. For a modeler it is a rewarding detail, because it sets one particular aircraft apart from an ordinary production machine without your having to change the rest of the build. At the same time it makes sense of a scene in which the machine is returning from a mission.

The procedure for the conversion

First mark the exact cutting line on the fuselage and cut the original tip off with some margin. Level the mating surfaces on abrasive paper and glue the joint with cyanoacrylate glue. Protect the opening for the lens with a piece of putty while filling, so that it does not get clogged and stays crisp. Only once the filler has cured should you go on to sand to the final shape.

Suitable for

  • Building a particular aircraft from a photograph
  • Modelers with experience of reworking a fuselage
  • A collection of British twin-engine aircraft
  • Combining with other parts from the same brand
  • Models with a story of their own in a display case

This is a replacement part to be built into a model of your own; paints are not included.

FAQ

According to the name this variant has room for a camera. Closer differences are not described by the maker, so they are not stated here.

That depends on the kit. Allow for the joint needing support from the inside after the cut.

The contents of the package beyond the name are not stated here. Work on the basis that this is a replacement front fuselage section.
