Sorry. I thoght you meant the color scheme. As I didn't have the pleasure of watching that work of art I thought these were random letters.

That's actually really interesting - I haven't seen the movie either, I was basing the appearance on the markings of the top 'Beau' at this link:

By the way, those are some awesome schemes Darthpanda!

It seems you've forgotten about the gun
Other than that not bad at all.

Whyme,
Early marks of Beaufighters had no rear gun, that was added to the later Mark TF.X in a slightly bigger bubble with framing at the rear.

Ok, thanks, good to know.
Then I suggest specifying the model depicted.

I am now making my debut FD posting!
I give you the most beautiful aircraft ever designed and perhaps one of the most talked about aircraft ever...
I intend doing some AU work with this too. The above depicts the first prototype, the only one that ever flew.

What a lovely depiction of it. You really do feel dwarfed by it's size up close too. Looking forward to seeing some further iterations of it. (Gulf War 1 anyone)?

This aircraft reresents the Holy Grail of British aircraft design. And yes, for anybody who has had the privelege of standing under the sole surviving example at Duxford Imperial War Museum it is a relatively big aircraft.
I'm really looking forward to all the versions
