Quite a bit has been written elsewhere about Beacon Models' inaugural releases but I thought it would be appropriate for an 'OOTB' thread to be put here.

I am going to be cruel. I plan on building the Beacon Spit back to back with an Eduard Mk.IX and so will now compare them....

I noted that Hannants are quoting GBP18.29, which equates to just under $AUS34 on current exchange rates. I do worry a bit about the $AUS49.95 that BNA are asking. Mind you, Metro Hobbies are asking nearly $AUS45 for the Fiat G.50 kits. Of course, that's why I use mtcc75's Home...

Finally had a chance to the get the Beacon Models Spitfire and Bf109E onto the bench.

Having followed this project since day one I had great expectations and I can genuinely say that these models completely lived up to them.

From the glossy and clear instructions to the...

Will Jayne of Beacon Models posted some nice images of the E-1 model which reminded me that the kit comes with the MG wing on the sprue and that the Printscale Decals sheet I picked up for the Emil...

Finally got around to one of the Beacon Spitfire Mk.1 kits. For something a little different, and because who doesn’t love painting yellow, I went with this 1941 example from No. 57 Operational Training Unit based at Hawarden. The yellow nose suspected to be a recognition...

That's very nice indeed! Lovely paintwork and diorama 👍

Yeah, Straight on the bench. I think I'm pretty clear on the Spitfire becoming Pat Hughes RAAF plane of 234 Sqn. The 109 is not so clear at the moment. Need to go through a pile of profiles and see if I have he right decals. Spent some time today doing the interiors on the...

Beautiful! Sadly, the only downside to the outdoor photography is that it has may have intensified the issue you had with the opacity of the serial codes. Definitely something the guys at Beacon MUST address, as they look more like some of the ALPS printed codes I've encountered...

I thought I would do the Dispersal hut and Jaguar as per the box art. the Hut looks to be a prefabricated affair, with wood sides and metal roof and would have been quick to construct on site. I painted it the same as the artwork with the addition of some glazing.
With the car I...

And doing both at the same time isn't recommended, no matter how much of a fighter ace you are! :lol:

As I mentioned in Tim's build post, I too had decided to tackle the Beacon Models kits. At the moment I'm building an Emil and I intend to do a Spitfire a bit further on, after doing some of the Fw 190s I want to get on with following this build.

I won't be building the kit's...

Miguel, I guess you're right. This strip is quite prominent, because it fixes the fuselage - wing fairing to the fuselage. It is normally not to be seen on pictures with detached wings. Thanks to the landing gear being part of the fuselage, the wings could (and were) be taken...

One of my favourite books about the Battle of Britain is 'Fighter Boys' by Patrick Bishop.

So just for a bit of fun I have turned a box into a book.

I've opened up the radio hatch on the port side of the Hurricane. All you will able to see is a bit of the structure, the radio and behind it the battery. I have used the radio panel from the Brengun Spitfire etch set which I think you might just be able to see in the picture....
