The wooksta V2.0 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 To follow on from me MB2, I give the assembled ladies and gentlemen my in service Bristol 135. Magna kit straight from the box and decals from the spares box. I honestly can't remember what squadron she's with, but then again, she's a 2007 build. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie(kinda) Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Lovely build again. And an education to boot. Love these 'left-field' types... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Nice that Wooksta, I rather like these "didn't quite make it" types & in a whatif early service finish like this one, they really look the goods to my eye. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch K Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Lovely work! How much of a total pain was she to build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Could have been a useful design with a Merlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember, it fell together. Although the canopy was a pain - Magna's canopies always were. Not really a lot of parts (20) to it to go wrong, really!

Selwyn Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Makes you wonder where Mitsubishi got its insparation for the zero? Nice build, Selwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristol boy Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Lovely build but are you sure it's a 135? According to Barnes that type is a twin engined civil aircraft. Magna do a 146 and a 148, yours looks like a 146. Only one was made in response to the Ministry spec F.5/34 which asked for an eight gun fighter, no prototype was selected and the role was later filled by the Hurricane and Spitfire and Bristol concentrated on developing the Blenheim. I have an unbuilt 146 but did do their 148, an RFI lurks on here somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not pretending to be an expert, I had not knew it 5 minuts before - however just check it by unckle Google and Bristol 135 is twin engine unbuild design of civil transport machine so likely it is 146 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Type_146... Nevermind - that is a true rarity and nice to see it in 3D well done. Regards J-W Edited February 15, 2017 by JWM misprint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice build, Selwyn Nope, it was the Gloster F5/34 prototype, I know that, I read in on the internet. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
