Plastic model of the Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI aircraft
The photos show a plastic model of the Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI aircraft glued together from a Tamiya kit in a 1:48 scale.
The modeller used only additional decals to make the Polish version of the fighter. In Great Britain, during World War II, the 307th Polish Night Fighter Squadron (the nickname: Lviv Eagle Owls) flew on the Bristol Beaufighter planes.
The Bristol Beaufighter was a British heavy night fighter that was also used as a ground-attack aircraft or a torpedo bomber.
The Mk.VI version of the plane entered production in the first half of 1942. The differences between the aircraft versions were mainly in the version of engines installed. Despite the different engines, the maximum speed was similar and was about 510 km/h (317 mph). There were greater differences in other performance. There is no data for the Mk.VI version.
Only the dimensions of the aircraft are common:
- Length: 12.60 m (41.3 ft),
- Wingspan: 17.63 m (57.8 ft),
- Height: 4.83 m (15.9 ft).
