Ok, chaps; here she is.
An early Beaufighter with a late war colour scheme and weapons loadout.
Yes, a little artistic license has been taken.
She also handles better than a high class Parisian lady of the night and has none of the torque induced vices that her real life counterpart suffered from.
So more funulator than simulator...
She has four cannon, six .303s and eight 3” rockets.
Flaps and landing lights are VTOL down.
AG 1 for nav lights.
Cam 1 for the pilot.
Gear command to cycle landing gear.
Tally ho!

I say, old chap, what a sweet build! A "Rockbeau" no less. And yes, fun is more important than realism, when I want real I head out of my front door. And this overweight little number is potentially as much fun as Ashley Graham in a bath full of jelly. Tally Ho indeed...
Many thanks! She was a little daunting to build, the part count started to get silly and she handles so much better than her real life counterpart, but hey, do you want realism or do you want fun? ;-) @ChiChiWerx
Oh my, this thing is so much fun! Attacking the convoy was great, though it didn’t go so well for Flt Lt Archibald A. Archlighter, RAF, V.C. (Posthumous) and Flt Sgt Bob Smith, RAF, D.F.C. (Posthumous). Their aircraft went down alongside the Nazi convoy they were attacking...I wish I could Spotlight this one, but you have more points than I do!
@Trainzo Many thanks. This was a bit of a bugger to get right (or at least as right as I could make it).
@Tang0five Cheers matey! My favourite bit is the cowl flaps. A bit esoteric, but there you are...
Very nice realization of a line difficult to reproduce . Maxi best replica .
Marvellous! Bloody marvellous!
No problem! @GhostHTX
Most kind. Thanks. @CRJ900Pilot
very nice!
