Post War Bristol Fighter...

Recommended Posts

So I have been very quite lately... Lack of modelling mojo really hasn't helped! But finishing this has! Wingnut Wings latest kit, The Post War Bristol Figther...

 

I used a mixture of Tamiya, Mr Color and Vallejo paints. Wood Grain was done using AK Interactive products. For rigging, I used EZ Line and the RAF Thread that you can get off Wingnut Wings.

 

Scheme is of the New Zealand Permanent Air Force during the 1930's.

Dave,

 

Very very nice :thumbsup:

 

One aircraft I need have to get for my collection, especially with NZPAF markings

 

 

Looks superb, as always. I still think the Bristol is WNW's best kit.

 

Only shock is that NZ were still using the Bristol into the 30's?!

 

Hi Dean,

 

Only 1 was really in use, flying wise mid 1930's (NZ7121), and it had been received  1927 from  Britain.

It crashed at lake Ellismere 1936.

Of the 7 aircraft received, one crashed in March 1926, one other crashed/repaired and scrapped circa1930/31

 

The rest had been converted into instructional frames at TTS (Technical Training School) Wigram mid 1930's, and thought to be burnt at start of WWII.

 

Regards

 

Alan

Dave i have no "connection" with WW1 items, being it armor or aircraft, and especially building (and rigging.......)  biplanes is not my cup of tea......BUT i can appreciate a perfect model when looking at it, and yours is certainly worth while.

Very nice build, congrats!

 

 

Jack.
