Mark 1 1/144 Beaufighter
I posted a few in-progress pics of this in my workbench thread, but here's the finished model. Really nice little kit, even provides clear wing lights, flattened tyres, and detail on the insides of the wheel doors. I did add some interior bits (stringers etc) but nothing can be seen of it once the canopy's in place. The Humbrol tinlet in the last pic is for size comparison only – I actually used Xtracrylix on the model.

Must be tiny! A real beauty Migrant. I absolutely love desert schemes and this one is just superb.

For its size that is truly amazing. Wonderful build - as always from your bench.

Fantastic
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Beautiful Beaufighter! You must have used a microscope to help attach the antennae on the wings and nose.

Soooo tidy even at that size! Do we some weathering going on? Usually your superb builds are factory fresh!

I couldn't get something that nice in 1/32nd scale...

That is a really good result, Mike. I like the subtle mottling.
So many models, so little time.
