Bristol Beaufighter TF.10 – WWII Automobile Model 1 72 – Airfix from Airfix

Description

Originally entering RAF service as a heavy fighter/night fighter in August 1940, the Bristol Beau fighter proved to be an extremely versatile aircraft. Perhaps best known as a Coastal Command strike aircraft, Beau fighters were capable of launching savage attacks against all manner of Axis shipping targets. Although still a Mk. X version of the Bristol Beau fighter, the later production aircraft of this series included a number of improvements and alterations which gave the aircraft a very different appearance. The most distinctive of these was the addition of a large dorsal fin fillet, which greatly increased the directional stability of the aircraft. There was also a ‘thimble’ nose A.1 Mk.VIII radar, which gave the aircraft much enhanced target acquisition capabilities.
