Bristol Beaufort

FULL BUILD of ICM 48310. 1:48 Bristol Beaufort.
This is the video summary, for more details about each part of the build - check out my channel.
The Bristol Beaufort (manufacturer designation Type 152) is a British twin-engined torpedo bomber designed by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, and developed from experience gained designing and building the earlier Blenheim light bomber. At least 1,180 Beauforts were built by Bristol and other British manufacturers.
The Australian government's Department of Aircraft Production (DAP) also manufactured variants of the Beaufort. These are often known collectively as the DAP Beaufort. More than 700 Australian-built Beauforts saw service with the Royal Australian Air Force in the South West Pacific theatre, where they were used until the end of the war.
Beauforts first saw service with Royal Air Force Coastal Command and then the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm from 1940. They were used as torpedo bombers, conventional bombers and mine-layers until 1942, when they were removed from active service and were then used as trainer aircraft until being declared obsolete in 1945. Beauforts also saw considerable action in the Mediterranean; Beaufort squadrons based in Egypt and on Malta helped interdict Axis shipping supplying Rommel's Deutsches Afrikakorps in North Africa.
Although it was designed as a torpedo-bomber, the Beaufort was more often used as a medium day bomber. The Beaufort also flew more hours in training than on operational missions and more were lost through accidents and mechanical failures than were lost to enemy fire. The Beaufort was adapted as a long-range heavy fighter variant called the Beaufighter, which proved to be very successful and many Beaufort units eventually converted to the Beaufighter.

Wyszedł jak ten ze zdjęcia. Literka "W" w oznaczeniu w trudnym miejscu, ale wyszło Ci idealnie. Chociaż nie jestem miłośnikiem tej maszyny, to model wygląda atrakcyjnie.

[@modelfun]

Dzięki, pierwszy raz robiłem tego typu samolot w 1:48. Na szczęście zestaw ICM nie zaskoczył żadnymi nieprzewidzianymi niespodziankami. Pozdrawiam

Your model is awesome. Where do you get the clamp for holding tiny pieces that I see you are using around 2:10?

[@modelfun]

Thank you. I'm not sure where I bought them but these are Revells clamps, you can see here: www.amazon.pl/Revell-Zestaw-zacisk%C3%B3w-modelowych-39070/dp/B01D4QFNT4/ref=asc_df_B01D4QFNT4/?tag=plshogostdde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=504532275761&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1938692540133565430&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=20852&hvtargid=pla-562829443627&psc=1

[@Kairasp1]

You did not fill in the seam lines of the fuselage ??

[@modelfun]

Hi, not sure which seam lines you saw, but I think I removed all. Can you point out any particular moment in the video ? I'm curious. Maybe I need to present better, or I missed something? Thank you for watching and for your comment. I hope to hear from you so I can improve. Cheers!

[@jaroslawmalan8141]

How much time did it take to assemble this one?

[@modelfun]

Hi Jaro, It takes approx. 5-6 weeks. I do not count exact number of hours. Thanks for watching! Cheers.
