Here is a pic of Dave Garwood's Beaufighter sitting pretty. Long way to go but it is a start....:mixed-smiley-010:

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
 
In CFS3 (ETO expansion):–

Looks like a better model to me. :)
 
Newer model

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.
 
@ 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....
 
versions

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:ernaehrung004:
 
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. :)
 
Hey Ted... did you say IIF as in Merlin powered?
:jump: (sorry this business with new Beaus has me in a dizzy tizzy :mixed-smiley-010:)

Don't forget we have sleeve valves which means no need to model push rods... (?)
 
Always learning about aviation at SOH.... thx Pops, and
