Beautiful aircraft. Was given the honour of of climbing inside and sitting in the cockpit of a nice one at Morrabin aviation museum in Victoria, Australia a few years back. Loved every minute of it. Could watch you airbrush all day, great job.
Theres a lovely story in Hugh Pophams Sea Flight: His squadron were co-located on Orkney with a Beaufighter unit who had been writing off too many airframes with poor landings. The early Beaus had a high landing speed and nasty ground loop habit. The Beaufighter squadron leader asked for a test pilot or instructor to come up and give his men a good lesson. A few days later in poor weather a Beaufighter turns up overhead and makes a perfect three point landing. Assuming this was the expert pilot he had requested the whole squadron was turned out to watch and meet him as he taxied in. *That is how you land a Beaufighter!* berated the Sqdn Ldr *Pay attention and do everything he says!* Out of the cockpit climbs an attractive 5ft blonde female of the ATA diverted from a regular delivery run. According to Popham the Beaufighter boys were dumbstruck and their landings improved dramatically. Never seen someone put an ATA pilot climbing out of a WW2 model - would be different.
Nice work. I was an aircrafty fitter at Filton in Bristol and worked with a guy in the 80's who worked on these aicraft. The base of the gun turret was machined and was in two halfs that he used to gas weld toghether.
Beautiful build Sir. Due to ill health I've a bit of time on my hands and fancy getting back into model building after a thirty odd year hiatus. Have been watching UA-cam to get an idea of how far the modelling scene has come in that time; a rather long way it seems. You're work really "pops-out" and I find just watching all these builds extremely relaxing, almost a "Zen" experience. I've always had a "thing" for WWII twin engine planes. The Bristol Beaufighter and de Havilland Mosquito being my all time favourites. They have that hunkered sense of power and purpose that you know will see them through most scraps & fights. I've subscribed and will be watching many more of your videos, thanks for the inspiration and joy your work brings.
Another beautiful build and evidence of your modelling artistry. You make it look so easy and the OOB builds are just as powerful as those with lots of extras......can't wait to see what's next!!
Thank you for your build, looks fantastic, I’ve returned to modelling after 35 years and I’m waiting delivery of this exact kit, as it’s my third build I don’t think it will be anything like your skill level but I will be using yours as a reference, really appreciate your video 👍
The excellent outstanding molding corresponds to ICM. I just made a 1/32 Stearman PT17 by ICM/Revell and everything about the quality of pieces was beyond my expectations. I widely recommend ICM; won't let you down.
Great kit and excellent build! Video skills match your modeling skills. I really do hate Revell boxes though (I realize it helps keep the cost down, and adds to the value-for-money of their kits). I have NEVER built one model at a time, some are built over long periods of time, and it is nice to have a proper box to store the partial built sub-assemblies etc. I have purchased flip top storage boxes for several of my Revell builds and re-use them when completed.
Ja man denkt immer so jetzt krieg ich das auch hin, aber man schafft es nie, deshalb habe ich ich damit aufgehört, weil ich nie ein perfektes Ergebnis hatte deshalb sammle ich hobbymaster Modelle im 1/72 Maßstab :)
Excellent build as always. Thank you Dusan. I bought my beast from a retailer in the UK via Amazon. Apparently Revell doesn't sell kits in the USA anymore. I can't wait to see your build of the Revell 1/32 f/a-18e . If and when it ever comes out.
Excellent build Dusan. The ambient music selection is excellent, when I heared the one starting at 6:35, I was like... ooooyeah the good old "Dusan music" :D This whole magic drops the blood pressure with approx 30... Great build, great video... Keep going with the builds :) (Y) P.S.: It's jet time soon :P
In a future video can you comment on your airbrush and technique? It looks so easy, but for me it is difficult to get the results that you accomplish. Thanks
excellent work !, that you use to dilute the color Aqua paint ?, I also use it with my airbrush, but I have problems to paint, it leaves the surface a bit rough and I can not make fine lines !. Greetings from Argentina!
May I ask you how do you clean the airbrush between two colors ? Just spraying alcool, thinner or ? something else ? Thanks and fantastic job, I love your channel, very relaxing to watch
Beautiful aircraft. Was given the honour of of climbing inside and sitting in the cockpit of a nice one at Morrabin aviation museum in Victoria, Australia a few years back. Loved every minute of it. Could watch you airbrush all day, great job.
Thank you! Btw, I have one in 72nd scale in famous Aussie markings. All the best! Dusan
Clicked "like" before watching the video, because I know its about to be a great build
lol I did the same
Very nice kit,excellent job!!
Ditto.
I did that too
Hehehehe i did the same, as always at Dusan's builds

A manly tear of Joy was shed... Its always a pleasure to watch your Videos Mr. Lekic! Thank you.

Dusan IS a modeling ace ! I have learned so much from him watching his video's over the last couple of years.

Excellent video & job building your Revell Bristol Beaufighter TF.X!
I no longer build models, I watch you do it instead!
Another beautiful build and evidence of your modelling artistry. You make it look so easy and the OOB builds are just as powerful as those with lots of extras......can't wait to see what's next!!
Thank you Robert! All the best! Dusan
Great job.
Nice build 👍
Great build! Revell really hit the mark with this kit. Detail, engineering, price. Well done!
Love your build videos ! Thanks for all the tips. It’s like a meditation session for the viewer that I am 🙏🏻
Thank you very much for your kind words! All the best!! Dusan
ScaleModelAircraft Thank YOU !
I’m gonna use your Corsair 1D video as template ;)
Nicely done! I really liked the paint scheme and the amount of detail you put into the interior even though nobody will see it besides us, very cool.
Thank you Meltz! All the best! Dusan
Beautiful plane and amazing job! This is one of my favorites aircraft of the ww2!
Fantastic build!! What a tough warbird the Beaufighter was!! Your technique is awesome!!!
Thanks!! All the best! Dusan
Again outstanding work from you Dusan, the build, the paint job and the weathering job are amazing, stunning
Thank you!!!! All the best! Dusan
Beautiful model. You do excellent work. Thanks.
Nice work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Your videos inspire me to improve my models. A great job, as always
This is a superb build of a beautiful plane, one of my favourites. The kit actually looks better than the Tamiya one I built last year!
Fabulous build OOB Dusan, i keep watching and learning, thank you for posting.
Thanks! All the best! Dusan
Love it. Just perfect. Not over or under weathered. Nailed it.
Superb. You're an Artist
Fantastic job. I love the Beaufighter.
Great video and awesome build!!!
Amazingly detailed build and it was so relaxing to watch as well!
Konačno, čekam novi klip k'o ovo sunčano vreme... odlično !!
The excellent outstanding molding corresponds to ICM. I just made a 1/32 Stearman PT17 by ICM/Revell and everything about the quality of pieces was beyond my expectations. I widely recommend ICM; won't let you down.
Great build
Super nice build, great looking Beaufighter, thanks for letting us come along on the build!
It's a pleasure to watch you work. Another amazing build! I'll be purchasing this one!
I really enjoy these videos. The music is hypnotic!
Great kit and excellent build! Video skills match your modeling skills. I really do hate Revell boxes though (I realize it helps keep the cost down, and adds to the value-for-money of their kits).

Beautiful
Nice subtle weathering
Another fine job, Dusan! 👍👍😎
It’s really cool seeing how you constantly improve with each build. Great stuff!!!
Keep up the good work brother!
Beautiful RAF Beaufighter with the invasion stripes, well done m8!
Very satisfying to watch,good job 👍
A very nice kit!
Lovely work.
Superb build!
Looks like a great kit and well done!
Beautiful work; outstanding explanation!
That was a very nice looking Beaufighter. I enjoyed watching this. Thank you for sharing.
Ah Dusan! I’ve missed seeing your work. Another brilliant execution!
so many parts hidden details inside ... I would leave open the engine hood at least. great work great art.
That was so cool bro I missed the full build videos please keep them coming dude looking forward to your next video.
Thank you! All the best! Dusan
Anytime
Und wieder einmal, ein perfektes Modell 👍💪
Vielen Dank dafür. Es macht Laune, dabei zu zusehen 👍
Ja man denkt immer so jetzt krieg ich das auch hin, aber man schafft es nie, deshalb habe ich ich damit aufgehört, weil ich nie ein perfektes Ergebnis hatte deshalb sammle ich hobbymaster Modelle im 1/72 Maßstab :)
I like your idea of showing previous codings on the fuselage. Nice touch.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I m gonna use your video to build my own Beaufighter... beautiful job 👌
Beautiful plane and model !!!
Great to watch, enjoyed the soundtrack choice and loved the build. Many thanks for posting :-)
Thank you! All the best! Dusan
Looks perfect, great work!
Building the tamiya Mk. VI right now, and I really like it! So much I ordered a Mk. X too.. This seems alright as well however.
Great job on it.
Very nice kit,excellent job!!👍👌
Great video again. Nicely done! It's astonishing how you manage to keep your gloves clean from paint :D
very good to watch, thank you.
Love the videos but that hobby shop in the beginning makes me so jealous!
Great work, magnificent plane.
I like clean look models. But I also enjoy adding weathering and dammage to certain models. It's on how I feel from kit to kit.
Excellent build as always. Thank you Dusan. I bought my beast from a retailer in the UK via Amazon. Apparently Revell doesn't sell kits in the USA anymore. I can't wait to see your build of the Revell 1/32 f/a-18e . If and when it ever comes out.
Thank you! Btw, wierd I haven’t seen super hornet at my local store... All the best! Dusan
Daniel Williams I believe that Revell and Revell of Germany still sell kits it the USA. I just bought a couple.
So beautiful. I cried.
Very nice indeed your videos always inspire me
Hi! Love your work. Are you considering doing an airbrushing tutorial!? You make it look so easy
Remember the very early UA-cam aircraft modeling fan Basic Modeling. It's weird I can no longer find him on the site. Ihope he hasn't passed away
Great to see another build Dusan this was brilliant to see the new beaufighter from Revell thanks for sharing cheers 😁👍🏻
Es realmente hermoso, bello e increíble ...desde luego digno de un concurso...gracias por compartirnos ...
Hugely impressive build!
Excellent build Dusan. The ambient music selection is excellent, when I heared the one starting at 6:35, I was like... ooooyeah the good old "Dusan music" :D This whole magic drops the blood pressure with approx 30... Great build, great video... Keep going with the builds :) (Y)
P.S.: It's jet time soon :P
Thank you!! :) All the best! Dusan
What a way to wake up !!! Another great video.
Really well put together Dusan, love the Beau. Have shared on my Facebook group 👍
Thanks!! All the best! Dusan
Stunning build yet again 😃👍
Perfekcija Dušane 👍
I've always loved the looks of the Beaufighter. As my dad, a pilot once said to me "looks right, flies right"
Tohle miluju ta přesnost nejradeji mám nejradši když mi pomalu roste ten model před očima
Great.
Magnificent job!
Excellent! Some time you may include in the vid how you make the antenna. Thank you
Excellent job, so beauty
In a future video can you comment on your airbrush and technique? It looks so easy, but for me it is difficult to get the results that you accomplish. Thanks
A very enjoyable vidio
Great video! Turned out fantastic.Loving the tonal variation 🍻👍
Great job...
Excellent work. What is the reference of the flexible ruler used as a guide to line engraver?
Hasegawa tool, as I recall try tool TL1 or something like that. Thanks!! All the best! Dusan
amazing model!!!
I think for such a huge model Revell could also have to offer details for the 4 20mm Hispano Suiza cannons.
World of Warplanes took me here. My favorite heavy fighter.
Stunning work dude!
excellent work !, that you use to dilute the color Aqua paint ?, I also use it with my airbrush, but I have problems to paint, it leaves the surface a bit rough and I can not make fine lines !. Greetings from Argentina!
Great Job Dusan👌👍!! Wonderful OOTB Build.
Absolutely Fabulous! Thanks for uploading. :)
Looks superb!
Outstanding job!!!!!
May I ask you how do you clean the airbrush between two colors ? Just spraying alcool, thinner or ? something else ? Thanks and fantastic job, I love your channel, very relaxing to watch
Fantastic built. Quick question: during the last highlight and fading step, do you spray air over the applied wash?
APSOLUTNO BRAVO ! YOU ARE THE BEST !
