@BLU3SCLU3S I have a load of unfinished builds im working through so no Beaufighter mash up yet. I dont tend to do replicas so it wouldnt be a true Beaufighter anyway
This is amazing! Thing you could do a beaufighter next? :\7
@RamboJutter but the build is great, it’s my favorite seaplane
@RamboJutter He looks like he saw too much... also he kinda looks like a muppet :)
@TheManChan what do you mean? If your are talking about his eyes in the goggles I thought it was a nice touch, keeping his eyes peeled sort of speak.
What did the pilot see....
ooooooooohh
Ufff. Esta genial
@asteroidbook345 ikr
This actually would have been cool as an escort fighter for mariners and stuff
