WWII Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI Model Summary

The Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI Night Fighter represents a rewarding build for enthusiasts of WWII fighters. Converted from the Beaufort bomber lineage, this twin-engined type carried Airborne Interception radar which made it a capable night interceptor for the Royal Air Force, engaging enemy bombers during nocturnal raids.

Debuting around 1940, the Beaufighter featured a reinforced airframe and a modified tailplane to improve flight stability. Though later operations saw the Mosquito share some night roles, the Beaufighter retained a reputation for robust performance and combat effectiveness, making it a popular subject for scale builds.

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires assembly
  • Paint and Decals: Not included

Does the kit include landing gear detail?

The landing gear is moulded with visible bay detail but may benefit from light scratchbuilding or washes to enhance depth and realism.

How accurate are the external panel lines?

Panel lines are crisply moulded; some modellers choose to soften them slightly before painting to match scale appearance. Fill and rescribe where needed for a seamless finish.

Can this kit be used as a basis for a diorama?

Yes, the Beaufighter's size and detail make it a good focal point for airfield dioramas, especially evening or night scenes that highlight its night fighter role.
