philo426 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 Test fitting the props from an old Bristol Beaufighter I had in my stash.Proprtions look good!
Crazy Ed Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Just my $ 0.02, for what the Kit is, for me they detract from the rest of it. Isn't the "Crudeness" part of the Kits charm? But Philliip there is no doubt those Props do look good there.
philo426 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) YEs I have been told on the paper models website that this kit is poorly designed and a bad choice for a first paper model.I will finish it however despite its many flaws..If I decide to build another paper model I will ask for advIce on the site so that I purchase a properly designed kit.

Snake45 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Looking good! You have WAY more patience than I do. I think the only way I could build something like that is if I were in prison and they'd let me have scissors and glue. And my Opti-visor, of course.
philo426 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Mounted up the landing gear.The right prop looks off center because I just threw it on for the photo.It will be aligned properly when done. Edited July 2, 2016 by philo426
philo426 Posted July 4, 2016 Author Posted July 4, 2016 The kit does not include engine cylinder detail so I scanned the plastic engine with my printer.Very low rez but better than nothing.
philo426 Posted July 5, 2016 Author Posted July 5, 2016 Cut out and installed the top turret.the guns are small diameter aluminum tubing.
philo426 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 Just about done and what a challenge!Made lots of mistakes but learned valuable lessons too!Not bad considering the kit consists of a few sheets of flat color cut outs.The plastic parts from the Revell Beaufighter really enhance it!
Crazy Ed Posted July 6, 2016 Posted July 6, 2016 Congratulations! That came out rather well and knowing what it's made of just makes the result that much better. Sure the Plastic enhancements do add to the result, in another way they detract from the........"flavor". I do like the Couch Photo Booth!
philo426 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 Thanks Harry was complaining about my messy workbench so I thought that the dark gray couch would highlight the printed cammo!
waynehulsey Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Cool, another paper modeler even if only occasionally. Was that by Modelik?
