Here's are some shots of my 1/72 Hasegawa Australian Mk.21 Beaufighter that I built several years ago.

This kit was done pretty much straight out of the box with only a few minor modifications.

Two of the machine gun ports and their ejection chutes were filled on the right wing since these aircraft used 4 X .50's instead of 6 X .303's.

The landing lights in the left wing were replicated with M.V. lenses and covered over with crystal clear Scotch cellophane tape.

The exhaust stacks are spares from an Airfix Shorts Stirling since the stock Hasegawa pieces are only caricatures of the originals.

Markings came from an Aeromaster sheet on the Beau.
