1/144 Bristol Beaufighter Mk.X - Peters Planes

With the exception of the DH-98 De Havilland 'Mosquito' then the vast array British and Commonwealth twin engined aircraft have been overlooked by the major players except Altaya/Ixo. I think that this under represented group of twine engined British aircraft are about to gain a great boost if Petersplanse continues with these selections.

This kits provides you with the ability to build the Beaufigther and man of its permutations, there is a great oppertunity to obtain a nice looking kit with fine detailing and a great form.

It s a nicely moulded kit with well defined and well formed items, with just the right amount of parts to balance the level of detail and challange for a weekend build. It will provide a nice kit for those modellers just startingout on resin kits, but also come with enough remodelling options and varient that an more experience modeller wull have a lot of fun considering and building someof the the more challenging combinations.

So we arrive at the Beaufighter , and it comes not only with the more familiar Beaufighter round necalled Hercules engine, but the also the school boys favourite Merlin engines (both with metal props) and a option for radome on the nose.

An an underslung 21" Torpedo is also provided!
