- Step by step build 4/4. ICM 1:48 Bristol Beaufort.
In this episode :
Decals, chipping & weathering, and final assembly.
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.

That sir looked absolutely outstanding, you have done a excellent job, well done, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.
Hello Kiwi from Australia:). Thanks for watching. I think Australian Air force used Beauforts too. Have you seen a real aurcraft somwhere in a museum or na airshow?
@@modelfun good evening, just to answer your question, I have not seen a real Beaufort in any museum, the is a very good Air Force museum here in Melbourne, but from memory they do not have one, I have also been to Duxford in the UK, but I don't think they have one either, I think it is one of those forgotten aircraft that people want to see well after they have all been scrapped, best regards from your Kiwi friend in Australia.
@Les Thiele, true. I've seen some pictures from restoration of this aircraft, so possibly not all of then have been scrapped. But true is, this plane is a bit forgotten.
Looks amazing as always.
Thank you for watching, and leaving the comment. I'm happy you like it. :)
