Strangeways Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Apparently the U.S. tested two Bristol Bulldogs, this represents the first which crashed after an aileron failure. The Airfix 1/72 kit rigged with stainless steel wire. Edited August 10, 2017 by Strangeways Dead PB lynx 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiton Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) It was very hard to believe that it is 1/72 scale. I checked a few times. Beautiful photos !! Edited August 14, 2012 by spiton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p-26luvr Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 A beautiful model in unusual markings. I remember seeing pictures of the real plane some time ago. WELL DONE. Carl T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Brilliant! And so unusual in U.S. Army Air Corps markings. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 That really is stunning! What a cracking finish and the rigging looks perfect. Don't suppose you have a work-in-progress thread for us lesser mortals to learn your techniques? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Very nice. The yellow/od scheme would make a nice Whif. Very nice. The yellow/od scheme would make a nice Whif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangeways Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Many thanks for the kind comments That really is stunning! What a cracking finish and the rigging looks perfect. Don't suppose you have a work-in-progress thread for us lesser mortals to learn your techniques? Thanks Col. There was a full build article in the March 2012 issue of SAMI (the issue with the He162 on the cover). Very nice. The yellow/od scheme would make a nice Whif. Ooh, I like that idea, like the P-26 with colourful unit markings. I think I may even have another Bulldog kit. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
