Tamiya Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI 1:48 Plastic Model Aircraft Kit 61053

The Tamiya 61053 is a 1:48 scale plastic model kit of the Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI, a twin-engine RAF aircraft from WW2.

About this model

Tamiya has reproduced the Beaufighter's short nose, thick wings and angled horizontal stabilisers to give the finished model accurate proportions. The kit allows you to build either a fighter variant or a Coastal Command configuration, so you can choose which version to represent before you start assembly.

Inside the box you get a fully detailed engine and cockpit, two crew figures, a display stand and three marking options for different operational squadrons. A paint guide and decal sheet are included alongside the instruction sheet.
