Overall, this kit has quite a few more parts that other recent Tamiya aircraft kits due to the nature of the Beaufighter and all the external equipment. Parts are moulded in Tamiya mid-grey and are perfectly crisp with no signs of flash anywhere. The radar antennas are extremely fine - be careful when handling them. The engines are basic but crisply moulded. Two identical but quite nicely moulded crew figures are included.
Clear parts are very transparent and commandably thin.
The cockpit is nicely detailed, featuring much better detail than the recent Meteor kit from the same company. Tamiya provides sealt belt decals, but of course the 'real' belts fashioned from photoetched parts or metal foil would look much better. Instrument panel detail is raised and good-looking. Canopy can be modelled open or closed. The wings are moulded in five pieces - two upper and three lower.
