Hi Nachtpiloten,
not being a modeller, how much better would you say this model is, than the models already in ETO? Is it more refined/more triangles or whatever?
greetings,
D

DG's FSX model, in FSX:–
Looks like a better model to me. :-)

The biggest difference will be the cockpit. Dave did a great job and I will tinker with as well. Exterior Dave's model has much richer detail.
Yea that's a nice model all round, a lot more detail!

Keep it coming!
Be still my beatin' heart... a better Beau? Whoa! ...ya gots me where I live!
@ Hairyspin - thanks for the excellent illustration of the differences.
The beaufighter is my favourite British heavy fighter, nothing survives at the convergence point! I have had some very long and twisting episodes, white knuckles and a lot of sweat, trying to get at least some of my flight home on a few campaign missions after being bounced by 109s....
NF version?

Mk IF, IIF, and VIF, well at least that is what I am planning to do...... The Mk IF for certain.
Hot Dang ! That's fantastic news!! Very interesting aircraft and all the different versions is music to my ears. Regards, Scott
Good news indeed!
A more detailed cockpit, a richer exterior and a new coat of paint is music to my ears.

Great! Nice one Ted. The original cfs3 pit isn't bad but I never liked flying t much. It just needed tweaking but the source model is long gone, I'll certainly fly it more once this beauty comes along.

Was there much difference betwen the F and NF versions with the exception of any external radar??

Hey Ted... did you say IIF as in Merlin powered?
(sorry this business with new Beaus has me in a dizzy tizzy )
Don't forget we have sleeve valves which means no need to model push rods... (?)
Always learning about aviation at SOH.... thx Pops, and
Thanks Ted and all you others that have frequented this site for years!
Merlins for you!

Great looking aircraft! The Beau is definitely one of my favorites. It will be great to have a Mk I night fighter. Keep up the good work!
Looking nice Ted, but you bent the tail! Is and IIs had straight (no dihedral) stabilizers.
