Tamiya 61067 - 1/48 Bristol Beaufighter TF Mk. X WWII 田宮軍事模型戰機 雙星孖星  [61067]

The following generation of the Beau, the TF.Mk.X, utilized a 1770hp Hercules XVI motor and heightened anti-ship assault capabilities. Its deadly toolbox consisted using one eighteen-inch torpedo or two 500 pounds bombs, plus eight rocket projectiles. The nose associated with airplane housed a special navigation system along with an Al Mk.8 radar for surface and submarine detection. Starting in early 1944, the TF.Mk.Xs were implemented to Coastal Squadrons 144, 235 and 404. In a typical anti-ship assault, the rocket equipped Beaus would first approach the enemies ships at low altitude, firing their rockets. The torpedo equipped Beaus would then follow-up, establishing their torpedoes within weak spots of the damaged vessels.

In the Normandy Invasion, the Coastal Squadrons relocated their bases south of England. After that, the Mk.Xs attacked and sunk numerous German destroyers and torpedo boats. In March 1945, in period of just forty-eight hours, Squadrons 236 and 254, traveling Mk.Xs, positioned and destroyed 5 U-boats.
