well if the ruskies could do it why not us!!!!!!..the raaf didnt order the Beaufort but the Boston for light-medium bomber duties and also anti shipping strikes,this a 13sqn plane used in the Bismark sea.




it's the old airfix kit with the addition of highplanes beafort decals a frog beaufighter torpedo and academy p40b bomb shackle for the torpedo mount.

I like it!  Very nice and very practical.  I like the Beaufort, but I like the Boston, too, so I'm a fan of this.

Cheers,

Logan

Nice model :)
Only just a whif - the RAAF did fly those early Bostons ... but 13 Sqdn is appropiate ;D

What paint did you use for the green ??
