Canadian Beau

Andy Ball
good use of the separate wing assembly aids painting, decals and weathering

Łukasz Gliński
Brave approach, count me in. Love these stripy Beaus 👍

Andy Ball
Cheers Ł, been too busy in all aspects of my life and haven't managed to do the photo-journalism….

Edward MacKenzie
I'll take a seat in the frontline. In my opinion it looks verry well so far.

Nice build, Andy! Love this Beaus with Invasion stripes. Congrats, Mate! 👍👌👍

Andy Ball
Cheers Bernd, my invasion stripe technique still needs some work!

Thanks JMB68 and Michele

Nice work. Lovely subtle weathering

Andy Ball
Cheers Mr. James, didn't know how much to take the weathering- do appreciate the contact.

Andy Ball
Cheers, Gary. Good to see you again!

Dieter Bihlmaier
Love it!

Andy Ball
vielen danke Dieter, that's quite a compliment

Guy Rump
Excellent job Andy, your Cornish Beau is splendid. 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Looks grand, the risk of painting the wings separately seems to have paid off.
Makes me wanna start building one of them. 👍

David Taylor
Nice.

Curatorm
Il est beau 🙂

Andy Ball
Thanks again Guy for flying with me on this build...
Ł: the wing-fuselage fit needed a hint of filler, but worth separating them as part of the build, right up to the weathering too.
Thanks David,
et M. Curatorm..I see what you did there <<en francaise>>

Andy Ball
Thank-you Rolf Rolf

Andy Ball
JK thanks

Thomas Bischoff
I missed the flight but applaud the landing 👍
well done indeed and I like the aluminium cooling fans

Shar Dipree
Great Beaufighter! 👍👍👍👍
The same kit is also waiting to be assembled. I particularly like the Beaufighter with the invasion stripes. Picture 2 is great, very great and dynamic shot.
But next I'll build another Mosquito from Aitfix - the PR version.

Edward MacKenzie
I am really impressed Andy, great work on that Beaufighter! I have this in my stash and hope, mine will come out as half as good as yours mate.

Neuling
Top build and presentation!

Andy Ball
Thanks Gary for checking in!
Thomas- all's well that ends well! Just on time!!
Shar- your Mossie was a blast, I think the Beau is a great accompaniment to it!
Edward/Eddie: I say go raid that stash and do it!!
Neuling- thanks for the gracious words!

Cuajete
Very nice "beautyfighter", Andy. Fantastic result.
This has to look great next to the Mosquito. A pic with both together could be interesting 😉
Congrats!

Andy Ball
@Cuajete....just for you I'll get the 2 models together - soon!!
Stephen H, Sergej and others: thanks for taking a look!

Cuajete
Glad to read that, Andy. Thanks! 🙂 👍
