Another stunning release from Brengun, the iconic Airco DH-2 WWI aircraft in a mixed media resin and PE kit. I think it would be safe to assume that this is not a beginners kit!!?

1/144 Bristol Beaufort - Peters Planes

1/144 Bristol Beaufort -  Peters Planes
Featuring more of the Peters Planes range of model kits this week we have a couple more familiar marks and and unique items!

The Bristol Beaufort is the on one on 1/144 I can recall in either injection or resin garage kits, its yet another area that both the big companies and the gashapon makers have over looked to date.

The Bristol Beaufort is design that builds on the earlier Bristol Blenheim, the Beaufort was designed as a Torpedo bomber and was used extensively in the early war period in the Mediterranean Theatre of Operation and in general by RAF Coastal Command. It also had a significant role in the Pacific Theatre where it operated by the RAAF (Royal Australian Air force) and where interesting most of where also built under license there (like this kit!).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Beaufort

There are two Marks to choose from when ordering, a Mk.II or a Mk.VIII (see pictures). Also there is a choice of either vacform windows for all the glazing or solid resin plugs. The solid resin glazing  will require painting and the vacform glazing will require cutting and trimming and glueing (along with detailing these areas as desired). The kit also comes with two White metal props.

The Mk.VIII has fully enclosed undercarriage wheels when retracted as compared to the partially exposed ones on the Mk.II and so has different engine nacelles and undercarriage doors. The tail of the Mk.VIII is also enlarged

NEW price for a basic plane for wargaming purposes. Comes with solid resin glazing (NO vacform canopies), NO undercarriage (doors in closed position),  NO props but does still come with your choice of decals for A$15. (The versions shown here is the "Gold Kit"**)

See the Peters Planes website (Home) for details, and also the Peters Planes Beaufort (Page) for more info and contact details. (**please note: the YAGI Radio aerials are not included in this kit)

Kit Mastered by Kampfflieger

1/144 Supermarine Spitfire MK.VIII (New Tooling) - Peters Planes

1/144 Supermarine Spitfire MK.VIII - Peters Planes
Also produced is a Supermarine Spitfire MK.VIII with the the option also of a "Wargamer" option, the 'Gold kit' has been discontinued due to the forthcoming Eduard Series kit. Although  the  "Wargamers" option is the more basic kit with solid resin glazing (NO vacform canopies), NO prop blades (spinner only), NO undercarriage (doors in closed/flying position only), it does have a new refined master retooled by Kampflieger for Peters Planes! I think you will find this much more apealing fromt an the astetic and production perspective.

http://www.petersplanes.com/avions/Spitfire/Mk%20XIVe/XIVe.htm

Also,  do not forgot about the the Spitfire Mk.XIVe  also produced by Peters Planes as it is one of the best 1/144 kits and rivals not only any other 1/144 Spitfire, but also a great many kits besides produced  in resin or plastic. ( see previous KG144 review of the Peters Plane Spitfire XIVe - ( Here Painted)  and (Here Master) .
