We may also e-mail you with other information associated with The Fighter Collection. A Bristol Beaufighter, JM135, this has gotta be the biggest airplane kit ever, it'll take a good few years to complete but progress is being made. Work on the wing centre section has been started again following a short break whilst the fuselage came in for some attention.
Enough resource is now available to continue both jobs alongside each other.
The trailing edge of the wing centre sections have been built and are being painted with a view to mounting them on the wing itself in the near future. Wing internal fit has yet to start but enough progress is being made on the fuselage to allow us to hope for a fuselage to wing mating around the early part of 1997. The basic metal of the aircraft is in good condition considering its recent history, recovery from open storage in a number of middle eastern locations. The cockpit area has nearly been completed and can be seen in the hangar placed against the leading edge of the wing centre section. People might be a little confused over the identity we have given the aircraft and that given in some of the recent popular UK aviation mags.
