You guys never stop do you?

Poor Ray, gives you a half decent Beaufighter, and then out of the Blue, you want all the variants.

Wish lists are fine, but I wish a few others would have a go.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind some 3dz help, guys.




Fortunately in this case the variants are easy.

Reduce the tailplanes to level and you have the Mk 1's. DONE

Add a fillet in front of the rudder and you have the Mk 10's. DONE

Add a thimble nose and you have the Mk 21's.

Add four bladed props and you have the one-off Mk 2 experimental version. DONE

Add a bulge under the right side of the cockpit and you have the 40mm cannon variant. DONE

The only one that requires serious 3dz work will be the Merlin engine Mk 2's.




So, there's two left, the Mk 2 and the Mk 21.

Who's up for a go?

I promise it won't hurt.

Hi Ray,

I understand what Fran is saying and it would be nice, but I would have thought the commonality between the Beaufighter, Beaufort and Blenheim was in reality not that great (though Bristol undoubtedly intended it to be initially) - the wings were about the same span and shape certainly, but with totally different engines. Not being a modder I may be wrong but perhaps these could be changed relatively easily? The fuselages are of course completely different, and the only part which is almost unchanged is the horizontal and vertical tail surfaces. As to the Buckingham, Buckmaster and Brigand they are virtually new aircraft,and the first 2 were not too successful though I must admit to fancying a Brigand - perhaps a "what if" for SPAW?

I look forward to seeing a full set of Beaufighters, but do not expect either Blenheims or Beauforts in the near future. You have enough on your plate already I think.

Cheers

Peter
