Production variants of the Beaufort Mk.I were widely used from the early 1940s in key Allied air force missions, conducting both torpedo strikes and minelaying operations, as well as sea patrols. This upgrade allows modelers to boost the realism of their model far beyond the out-of-the-box capabilities of the ICM kit. Better wheels mean a higher level of detail and authenticity for any aviation diorama or model display—especially recommended for builds depicting wear, operational use, and dramatic take-offs from the runway.

The Eduard 648830 set is recommended for both intermediate and advanced modelers seeking improved detail without time-consuming conversions. We rate the difficulty level at 2/5 – assembly is quick and straightforward, and the included painting masks ensure an exceptionally professional final effect. If you are looking for an accurate representation of the famous British aircraft, this upgrade is an absolute must-have for any World War II collection.
