Definitely a Beaufighter.
Particularly loving the round things on legs!! Still getting to grips with wingy things as I am, I believe they're called the undercarriage.....despite my wife thinking my Mossie ones were wheelbarrows......and she was being serious!!!!
Looking forward to the rest of it Andy!

"Wheelbarrows" eh?.... I've known Rach call some of my WIPs worse!!
Well, the last few sessions that I've managed to get in have mostly been taken up by masking,it's taken AGES !! 
However, it's progressed......
Underside there.....
.... All completely masked off....
... and resplendent in Dark Brown,(decided to go for the "early war" scheme).
Rach is working until 8 tonight, so this afternoon it's going to be masking camo pattern and a splosh of "Purest Green" ..... with a few Ziders
Until then, it's goodbye from me.

Now that is looking very tidy mate.
Now look guys, we all know who's doing all the work here. It's Cohan and he's doing a helluva job with all that masking and paint. As for Mr. Smiff, he's probably asleep in the chair after all that 'Zider' he's been nipping. The Beau is looking good though Cohan!!! Now go bite him on the finger to wake his butt up.........

.. and finally,the exciting bit...
That's it so far.. gotta do some lovey stuff now to welcome my beloved Rach home

On it's own two feet,(well,three technically ),the Copper housing painted,(weird one that to my mind?!),and a dark wash,going for a worn look on this one... A first for me! Lastly,ere she is gloss coated awaiting decals...
.... Going to get the decals on next...

Andy, you've definitely been bitten by the wingy bug or Cohen has been well trained, either way it looks good.
I find the Beaufighter looks good on the ground and really brutish. The designers were definitely concentrating on the twin engines and wings and just plonked the pilot somewhere in the middle and forgot the rest of the front of the plane...similar with the Whirlwind. You can surprise attack from both sides... no need for side armour protection.

Well Andy, I'm impressed. Your wingy thing is looking a top job and you've made pretty speedy progress as well. Great job with the masking. Camo has come out neatly.
