Deacon Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) I must be mad but here they are... The Airfix Bristol Bulldog and Revell's Spad XIII C-1. These builds will fill gaps in my British Forces Aircraft that is a personal GB. The Bulldog was £3.40 from Mr Models and the Spad can still be purchased for less than £4.00 from WHSmiths.

Deacon Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 Okay a bit more progress. I should have left the engine off the Bulldog as it would have been easier to paint. and here is the Spad with rigging added in between the strutts.
