There’s flush rivets on the forward fuselage, as there should be. I had a close look at the kit parts today for the first time. Kotare have even moulded the ribs on the insides of the wings. This produces a very subtle rippled look on the wings. It will be interesting to see how the effect looks under paint
Im liking the kit, more and more .

Used to be we called that 'subtle rippled look' shrinkage

Who's doing the first kit?

For people using metal wire.
A trick I learned back in the mists of time.
Use two pliers, stretch the wire between them with a violent pull untill it breaks.
The wite is now straight and more importantly stiff (ie no sagging)

I have seen the drawings, hence my confusion.
Only one pertains to the TF.X, or is the wing paneling the same for all aircraft?

This is post in question:
Second post.

I saw some old posts on Hyperscale where @samodeldad was very critical of the then new Revell kit.
especially the panel lines.
Having the kit, I thought I'd do some checking and it's becoming very murky indeed!
Basically none of the TF.X drawing I can find online is different from the kit, but also different from each other!
Any Beau expert on here that can shed some light?

Roden tried clear wings with their Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter. It didn't work out as well as hoped, and carried a cost in brittleness of the plastic.
With Roden plastic I assume.....(me being ever hopeful)

I think the CDL finishes will be seen aplenty: I'd go for a PC.10 scheme.
I've asked on FB if they'd consider a clear version.....the answer wasn't an outright no...🫣

It is a 1:1 replica.
Here is a link to a set of reference photos I took of it for my scratch build.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that!
Pretty good set of pics.

Since reference on this aircraft seems a bit thin on the ground, I thought I'd start a thread.
There is of course this:
https://bristolscout.wordpress.com/
Which has a lot of info, though pics are small and scattered.
Really hoping the 3D work will be made available, commercial or otherwise.
First time I've seen an aircraft in CDL and the translucence very much part of the character.
I wish CSM would do a clear version, to easily achieve this effect. An alternative would be creating the full structure and covering with....something.
I've seen the 'smoke and mirror' tricks with paint and fake shadows, but that just doesn't hit the spot.
Maybe Aviattic will do a 3D printed frame, like they did for the Fokker D.VII, one can hope...

Just picked mine up....NICE!
The translucence of it will be a challenge, I've seen the paint tricks, but they're not really convincing. 🫣

Oooohhhh nice!
I'm currently looking for a Caterham, but they're a bit thin on the ground here in NL.

I have no idea if the “corrected” RH tank still on slim side compare to the LH ones. I used shims to increase RH tank thickness on my F-5B.

Any aftermarket option available?

Or perhaps for people like me who'll butcher one and leave the other one in the box to show what might have been possible.....
Isn't that what everyone does?

..another vote for the books by Mark C. Wilkins published by Casemate ( British Fighter Aircraft in WWI: Design, Construction and Innovation - Casemate Illustrated Special)
These look right up my street!

There's a set of the JaPo books on the 'bay from an Italian seller.
A mere snip at €360

Repeated from my post in the WW1 section, apologies.
Is there a book that details chronologically the development of fighter aircraft?
WW1 aircraft development seems to have moved at incredible pace, with new aircraft being (semi) retired after mere months because of obsolescence.
I would like to know more of the 'action - reaction' in technology and tactics.

Dammit I keep forgetting scale.....

Does anybody do brass engine plates (PE or decals) for Rotaries/inline engines?

He doesn't half sell it!
A-4 yay!

Maybe a mod could pin this somewhere ?

I find this truly fascinating, but where can I read what all the values actually mean?

Do I understand correctly that SH will do the 'late' version?
Wouldn't mind a J52 engined Israeli one.
