1:72 Beaufighter Mk X radar and tail fin

Quickboost radar and tail fin for the Beaufighter Mk X (1:72)

A resin detail accessory of the Quickboost brand, made by Aires, in 1:72 scale. The set holds parts for a more faithful rendering of the radar and the tail fin of the Mk X version. This is not an aircraft model but a stand-alone accessory that raises the fidelity of a finished build.

The real subject

The Bristol Beaufighter Mk X was a British twin-engine strike and torpedo aircraft from the later part of the Second World War. The radar fit and the changes to the vertical tail were among the characteristic features of this version.

Building and painting tips

Wash the mold release agent off the parts, cut off the casting blocks and bond them with cyanoacrylate glue. Check that they seat precisely on the fuselage and the tail surface before gluing. Wear respiratory protection while sanding.

Who it is for

• For modelers building the Beaufighter Mk X in 1:72 scale.
• For anyone interested in a faithful radar and tail fin.
• The aircraft kit itself is not included in the package.
