About product

The Bristol Beaufighter in 1:144 on the subject of fighter aces

A kit in a small scale from the brand Mark I, whose release carries a subtitle referring to successful fighter pilots. The release is devoted to the British twin-engined combat aircraft that was among the toughest machines of its category.

A heavy twin-engined fighter

The Beaufighter grew out of the Beaufort torpedo aircraft and took a large part of its structure over from it. A pair of Bristol Hercules radial engines and exceptionally heavy onboard armament made it an ideal carrier for the first airborne radars, so it made its name as a night fighter. Later versions attacked shipping with rockets and torpedoes, above all over the North Sea and in Southeast Asia, where it earned a reputation as a quiet and unexpected opponent.

Building a miniature

The fuselage is short and massive, so take care over the symmetrical seating of the engine nacelles, otherwise the model will visually lose its correct stance. Leave the propellers free to turn and glue them only after the finish has been applied. Camouflage with hard transitions is handled well in a small scale by masking putty or thin strips of tape. Darken the wheel bays, so that the depth comes out.

Suitable for whom

  • Modelers of British aircraft of the Second World War
  • Anyone interested in night and anti-shipping operations
  • Collectors of twin-engined machines in a small scale
  • Builders looking for a striking silhouette for a display case

The set comes as a set of unpainted parts meant to be glued together. Tools and paints are not included, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The nickname was earned by its radial engines, which could not be heard over the target in time, and by its very heavy onboard armament.

The particular designation is not stated here. The release is tied by subject to successful pilots.

What decides is the symmetrical seating of the nacelles and an equal length of the landing gear legs. Check the gluing on a flat board.

Fewer parts, but higher demands on the cleanliness of the joints and on applying the paint finely in thin coats.
