Mike Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Is there one? In 1:48 scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Not as far as I know. Your only two choices - both 72nd - are the old Rareplanes vacform, which is rather nice, and the Heritage resin one, which is also nice. Only snag with the more recent mouldings is that the cockpit aperture seems to have healed over, so the use of a Dremel may be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmojen Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Someone did announce a 1/48 one, but I forget who it was. I'd like one Jen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Rogers Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I know Heritage have one in the works, but Ian told me it's not due 'til later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'd like to see someone have a crack at the Bristol design to the same spec, the Type 133, if only to save me from having to kitbash one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'm not familiar with that one... got any pics? I know Heritage have one in the works, but Ian told me it's not due 'til later in the year. Makes sense... Hurry up Ian, and make it good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Bradshaw Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hi All, I have a basic resin shape, but trying to find any sort of accurate or decent reference material for this aircraft is almost impossible. The resin shape is currently cut up into pieces so that I can extend it and reshape it to the best information I currently have and what few pictures there are of this aircraft - I'll let you all know how it goes.

The wooksta V2.0 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) Bristol 133 looks like this: http://www.airwar.ru/image/idop/fww1/brist...ristol133-1.gif And this should give some more info: http://www.aviastar.org/air/england/bristol_133.php Derek, stupid question probably, but have you tried the Morgan/Shacklady bible on the Spitfire for infor on the Type 224?

Derek Bradshaw Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Thanks guys - I'm very busy for the forseeable future, however, I'll see what I can do. Wooksta: No I haven't - any chance of some scans please? Thanks Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I'm sorry Derek, I don't have a currently operational scanner. I'll *try* to get some photocopies next week so send me your address via PM. Mike, the Bristol 133 will be a kitbash, using the noxious brew of a Dewotine D520 fuselage, Corsair wing, Blenheim engine and lots of good luck!
