I greatly enjoyed that. The quality of these Airfix kits is astonishing. This was one of the first planes I built when I was a kid. So it brings back lots of memories seeing it here. You do a much better job then when I was eleven years old.
Great build. Love the painted on d-day stripes. Always looks better than the decals. Although this kit didn’t have those as far as I could see. I think I’m going to try to paint the roundals on. Well, we’ll see how that goes.🤞🤞
Great video and excellent build! I will be making some models and unboxing some as well. I have a mate who is great at airfix and he has taught me a lot and so have you, With your tutorials etc. I hope one day your channel will blow up as these are really good videos and I also hope one day ill be able to build and paint models as good as you! Keep up the brilliant work!
I can understand haha, not to everyone's tastes 😂 you'll be happy to hear that I don't use it anymore though, I've taken to using the same peaceful track for all my new videos. By the way, judging by your YT name I would have thought it's your style of musics haha...jokes ;)
Excellent video. I dont know how you manage to make the video so short, I struggle with getting my videos under 30 minutes, different styles I think. In any case congrats on 1K mate.
I agree, this video is not the best haha. It is however 4.5 years old and I reckon my more recent builds (wildcat, auster etc.) are made to a better standard 😉
Highly valuable, especially (for me) the pre-shading method. One question: I purchased the RAF paint set from Hataka but have a doubt about the thinner. Does Vallejo thinner work well on this paint brand? The Hataka set is "blue color" i.e. acrylic. Thanks.
I would always recommend using the company's own brand of thinner - you never know what extra ingredients they have added that might make them incompatible with other paint brands. I myself have never tried using Vallejo thinner with Hataka paints - though you could try asking on a model making forum such as Britmodeller www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php :)
I have this kit in my "box to build" pile of plastic, I hadn't thought of a D-Day version. I really like the stripes, but shouldn't there be strips on the wings as well?
Great build m8. I preferred the Matchbox version as the box illustration clearly shows that you're allowed to put on the torpedo AND the 8 rockets. Is this historically accurate, anyone know?
Roy North's illustration was exciting but fanciful. The aircraft in the first wave of an anti-shipping strike would be armed with armour piercing rockets; those in the second wave would have the torpedoes. The version of the TF.X in the Matchbox kit can be modelled with the TF.10 boxing of the Airfix kit, as it contains the thimble radome and the fin fillet. Marking options are for a wartime aircraft and for an aircraft operating postwar in Malaya on Operation Firedog.
Built as an entry to Model Minute's discord GB: White Cliffs of Dover!

Part way through building this so this is very timely as I am about to start priming!
Very nice build, straight from the box no messing. Great paint finish too.
Nice work mate ✈️👍🇳🇿
Good construction presentation! Please choose more calming music!

I love how we/You do the inside cockpit green and add a wash to something we are probably never going to see good job
🤣🤣haha! It's for peace of mind i guess xD
Congrats on 1k!!!
:) Thanks!
Very nice work. Beautiful Beaufighter. 😎👍

Thanks you so much for your kind words my friend! Good luck!
I've just built one of these, lovely job on yours. Subbed! Oh and how fiddly was that damn landing gear!
Glad you liked it! Don't even get me started....🤣🤣
Great build mate 👍
:D Many thanks!
You can build models hella well and you are underrated for sure
Thank you very much! 😁
Godawful music!!

Nice model, well done, stay healthy !
Thanks man, you too!
Excellent video. I dont know how you manage to make the video so short, I struggle with getting my videos under 30 minutes, different styles I think. In any case congrats on 1K mate.
Thanks! Yeah, you're right - I prefer to make more fast paced videos!
nice build!
:) Thanks!
Oh my goodness, the music!. Too loud for me, and no explanations of what I'm seeing on-screen. Which is too bad because I love the Beaufighter.
I agree, this video is not the best haha. It is however 4.5 years old and I reckon my more recent builds (wildcat, auster etc.) are made to a better standard 😉
Great build! I did the airfix 1/72 c 47 for the group build! I hope one day my channel and skills will be as good as yours. Thanks
😊 Practice is of course always the way! Keep going! I saw your C47, it looks really nice with the weathering you did!
Thanks a lot! It means so much for someone to say that. Thanks
Yet another great build and video! I really like those stripes. Do you use a spraybooth while painting with the airbrush?
Yep! I made it myself. I might do a video on it at some point

Why paint the internal part of the model if you can never see it?
Peace of mind ;)

I did think that. but the instructions didnt call for it...
What was the reason behind removing the plastic @3:48?
The instructions hinted that those bits weren't present on this variant :)

Прекрасная модель!
Can I give this the night fighter configuration? I really like it because it save time and I don’t really have a lot of that lately because of school
You definitely could! Your model after all 😉
Modelling Weekly nice, well I guess I know my next kit then
