Franks, Richard A. The Bristol Beaufighter

A Complete Guide to Bristol's Hard-hitting Twin

Volume 26 of the Airframe & Miniature series significantly expands on the material presented in the 2018 Airframe Album on the Bristol Beaufighter. Given the wealth of additional material, plans and kits, the creators decided to publish this book in the Airframe & Miniature series instead of a second edition in the Airframe Album series. It has been completely updated from the original title and expanded by 86 pages and scale plans. The Beaufighter remains a popular subject in aircraft modelling, and the book helps to decipher the extensive range of variants and schemes that apply to this type. This 26th book in the series comprises 264 pages (plus scale plans) full of important information that no active model builder and RAF enthusiast should be without. It contains: Over 50 pages of technical information; Over 70 pages of all-round pictures and technical diagrams; Over 50 pages of camouflage colours and markings; Over 35 pages of model builds and model-building information; Over 200 photos, including wartime images; Colour side views and template diagrams by Richard J. Caruana; 3D isometric views of all variants by Chris Sandham-Bailey and Wojciech Sankowski; Side profiles of all variants by Wojciech Sankowski; Specially commissioned comprehensive complete kits by Libor Jekl in 1:72 scale and Steve A. Evans in 1:48 scale; Specially commissioned cover art by Jerry Boucher; Set of fold-out scale plans.
