Bristol Beaufighter

A procedural model built in Blender from the type’s published dimensions, painted as RD253, a Bristol Beaufighter TF.X built at Old Mixon, Weston-super-Mare, in October 1944 with two Bristol Hercules XVII radials, delivered to the Portuguese Naval Air Arm as BF-13 in March 1945, used as an instructional airframe in Lisbon, presented to the RAF in 1965, restored at St Athan and displayed at RAF Museum London since 1971, painted as it is shown there: Extra Dark Sea Grey upper surfaces over Sky undersides and rear-fuselage sides, black and white invasion stripes round the rear fuselage and the outer wings, a yellow-ringed Type C1 roundel on the stripes, a fin flash, ‘RD253’ in black under the tailplane, the dihedral tailplane and dorsal fin fillet of the TF.X, the observer’s cupola, no torpedo, rockets or radar nose, and black three-blade propellers with yellow tips; no photograph shows roundels on the wings, so they have none.
