Avis 1:72 Bristol M.1D


Recommended Posts

Another short run kit from Avis of an obscure subject, this time the one-off M.1D racer variant of the M1 fighter. Typical short run, needed a lot of fettling but I quite like the result. A braver man than me would do more justice to that engine piping up front, maybe replacing with carefully bent brass tubing or something, but I used the kit parts and they're not too bad. Anyway:

I have all three of these new Avis M1 Bristol kits--two military and this one.  I am looking forward to building them.  It used to be the only 1/72nd scale Bristol M1 was from Czech Master Resin--a fine kit by the way, but OOP or many years.  Nice to have these around.

 

Yours looks especially nice!

Pegasus did one, but it needs a lot of TLC! Builds up ok though if you want to put the time and effort in.

No need to now with the Avis kits, they look great!

This one is lovely, fine job, and I hadn't realised that there was a radial engine version!
