Lashenden Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I'm making a rare venture into WWI aircraft as I've been given an unwanted 1/48 Revell/Edouard Bristol Fighter. I can't seem to find any aftermarket decals for this aircraft (the Blue Max 1920's white schemes set was in the box). I'm a bit underwhelmed by the Revell offerings. Any scheme with a bit of late-war weirdness would be interesting. Does anyone know of a good set? The Revell roundels seem very pale compared to the WnW .pdf artwork. If I can't find anything else, what do people think about using the darker Blue Max roundels on a WWI aircraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Hmm, late war oddness.. https://www.eduard.com/store/Eduard/BRISTOL-F-2B-FIGHTER-THE-CROCODILE-1-48.html You could ask Eduard if they have any mask and decal spares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lashenden Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 I was thinking about contacting Edouard, they reboxed this kit a number of times, maybe they have spare decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Thompson Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Blue Max never did a white scheme. But Roden did, so I think that's probably what you've got there . Pheon still have their Western Front aces set in stock, although they're bog standard PC10, Battleship Grey and CD Lhttps://www.pheondecals.com/48008-bristol-f2b-fighters-western-front-aces.html , These from Freightdog, Empire Brisfits, might be a bit more colourful: https://www.freightdogmodels.co.uk/military-products/military-decals/1-48-scale/blue-max/blue-max-1-48-f2b-empire-brisfits-decal-sheet.html Hannants still have some Freightdog post war markings in stock - https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/BM4801 . You would need to check the engine louvre configuration and tailplane sizes to make sure your model matched the right mark. Finally, there is still a set by Print Scale, Polish markings, varied camo types: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/D48094. Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "6" on the 11 Sqn machine would be really, REALLY useful for my effort to replicate E2586 '6' of 11 Sqn. The serials in the Pheon Decals sheet provide most of the characters with the exception of the E and the 5...but hopefully I can convert the B to an E pretty easily (assuming the B is the same size as the other numerals). The big problem (for me) is replicating the serial number on the rudder. Any suggestions where I might find decals suitable for that purpose? Many thanks, Mark Edited October 13, 2018 by mhaselden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
