Airfix - Bristol Beaufighter Mk.X Late - 1:72 (A05043)
Originally entering RAF service as a heavy fighter/night
fighter in August 1940, the Bristol Beaufighter proved to be an extremely
versatile aircraft. Perhaps best known as a Coastal Command strike aircraft,
Beaufighters were capable of launching savage attacks against all manner of
Axis shipping targets.
Although still a Mk. X version of the Bristol Beaufighter, 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.
