Oops,,, Yeah it's probably not to hard of a mod. That and it would be a really unique model.

That is one fantastic looking model. Impressive job there!

He's the second top scoring Beau ace and first to use the Beau radar to achieve a night kill.

Cunningham was ALSO 'THE' test pilot of the World's 1st Jet Airliner

Can see No.4's point about Cunningham = very-famous guy & famous plane (arguably THE most famed/copied Beau' )

Trouble is, like Bud Anderson's "Old-Crow" P.51; it's TOO predictable & been covered in other forms (kits/artwork/plates) even if it's NOT yet been done in die-cast !!!!!!!!
(It may seem 'fresh' to our Stateside cousins, who may not be so conversant with the Beaufighter, or it's colours & markings).

Given what Hawkonevoodoo says about a top 3 or 5, I'd have to ENTIRELY approve of PZL's excellent post in this thread (No.8).

IN PARTICULAR, the Malta-based T.4828 with the 'BT*B' codes & Desert-type camo'.

EVEN MORE SO; my personal Fave' in this WHOLE-THREAD.......... (Profile No.4, in post No.8)


The 'Wattisham' Coastal-Command strike bird

'T.4800' 'ND*C' (it's pure SEX !!!!!!!!!!!!! )

Those Slate Grey/Sea Grey colours with an apparent Duck-Egg type underside...... mixed with the Early type A.1 roundel looks UTTERLY-GORGEOUS & would make a VERY distinct & eye catching model !!!!!!!!!!

The RCAF strike plane that Epz' posted above is nice, but not 1/2 as lusty as those two in those camo'-schemes.

If it comes out as good as Hobbymasters 'Harvard', I'll buy a shedload of 'em - Honest !!!!!!!!!!

These Two !!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...!! I'm amazed at the number of available camo schemes. (These will be 1/72, right?)

I sure hope that they are 1/72nd scale, I want to get a few. So many nice paint schemes for this one.

[Shawn 507]

I like this one :

[swoop]

[quote=jim;177835]Anti shipping type with torpedo would be great, or rockets.

So many schemes out there even a Malta version would be great[/quote

Good thinking Jim, would like one to represent the Battles of the North Sea. Then again. Malta would be fine.

[CKS1]

A 30 Sqn RAAF Beau would be nice, 1943 Battle of the Bismarck Sea. Followed by a 455 RAAF/489 RNZAF Coastal Command Strike Wing double whamy!!!!

Cheers CKS1

Swoop ,I think we need one of these.The Squadron changed from Defiants to at Ballyhalbert in 42.

And a 153 Sqn aircraft from Ballyhalbert is being restored by Skysport Engineering at Hatch in Bedfordshire.
