This the new tooled 1:72 scale Airfix kit.
The only changes I've made is to add arrester gear, Jato units, folding wings, Avro Lincoln R.R Merlins and a re-profiled tail.

Looks fantastic!  With Merlins (thought they were Griffons at first) nonetheless, bet that thing would get up and go like a scalded ape.  :)

The Lincoln nacelles look like they fitted perfectly, very nice  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

If anyone wants to do something like this, AiM do a variety of Merlin nacelles for the DC-4 ---- might be an easier way of getting some engines.

The "only" changes you made look awesome! I didn't know that Airfix had a new tool Beaufighter.

Have a plan for a couple of navalised Beaufighters using the wing-fold mechanisms from a couple of Italeri Grumman S-2E/G Trackers. ;)
