Historical Information

The Bristol Beaufighter is a heavy twin-engine fighter and strike aircraft produced in Great Britain from late 1940. This aircraft primarily served in the Royal Air Force and later also in the air forces of the British Commonwealth countries and Australia. The aircraft participated in World War II operations, serving in Europe, the Asian theater, the Pacific, and the Mediterranean Sea. The characteristic “porcupine” exhausts improved the dispersion of exhaust flames and were a modification used on night fighter combat versions of the Beaufighter. This detail is highly sought after by modelers aiming to accurately replicate specific versions of this aircraft from the World War II era.
