Tamiya's Beaufighter is a sheer pleasure to build. Not only are the details molded nicely, the fit of the parts makes assembly fun and frustration free. For the most part the kit was built out of the box with only a few minor additions. A desert scheme was chosen for the attractive combination of Middlestone and Dark Earth. With the new VP 1332 Luftwaffe Ground Crew WWII Summer in 1/48 scale, a desert scene came to mind and suited the Beaufighter nicely. The interior was built straight from the box with only the seatbelts and buckles added from lead foil and copperwire. Testors RAF Interior Green was used for the hasp coat. The windscreens were masked with Bare Metal Foil. Testors RAF Middle Stone was applied first and then a camo pattern of Testors Dark Earth. After drying overnight, the areas where the markings go were buffed with an old T-shirt, and the decals applied. After the decals dried, a coat of Matte varnish was applied.
