Hi Scott
What can I say, this has tuned out just to be a beautiful lady indeed, I like all the angles of pics as you have shown off her lines to the best angle.
There is nothing at all wrong with her that I can see( I'm not a professional ). Some may say the panel lining is too dark but as you have pointed out your still to do a light weathering so once this has taken place I'm sure the lines would soften a little ( that's my theory.
As you have gone for a Beau that is a torpedo Srike carrier then I would assume that a light dabbing of the salty air on the extremities would not go a miss ( my own opinion )
I recently did a 1/72
Airfix Wilcat soon to be shown here and I have put a little salty air in the weathering as the aircraft would be constantly at the mercy of nature whilst on deck. True the beaufighter was not carrier bourne but when flying low etc ( does that make sense)
I also did if you remember my P47 thunderbolt in Russian service. That depicts the sand weathering on the extremities as before the Russians took delivery they were flown to Iran ( if memorie serves)
Any ways you have produced a cracking example
Can't wait to see it it in the compleated section
