Figured put to do my own prop blurs...
I used these brushes...
The wide one for the blurs, the thin one for the yellow tip blurs.
End results...
Not perfect but it's a decent enough for me. I will practice a bit more when I have a little down time.

Well, that’s neat!

I always make it a habit to save scrap sprues. You never know when you're gonna need them - even clear ones.
They will come in handy for this project of displaying the torpedo having just been released from the Beaufighter.

Looks almost ready for decals now…

I will clip out the longer pieces. Habit stuff.

Yeah it is. Not sure how good the kit's decals are now for being almost 60 years old. I'm afraid to even try out of fear they'll tear while soaking in water or applying to the kit.

You are definitely the Craft Master, are you considering after market decals?
Your fellow modeler,

Old Airfix decals... You might be alright although you might get some of that Milky old Glue residue. Tbh I'd be happy to send you some replacements but I don't think I have any Beaufighter ones.Stuart Templeton 'I may not be good but I'm slow...'
