hadzi Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Today I present my 3rd Bristol Bulldog from Airfix kit in 1/72 scale. Now I'm finish with this plane. This time it shows a Finnish Bulldog in 1942, this plane was a gif from Sweden, it was used only for training. I will thank Fabien Bauduin fot this kit from the 80's edition (I think), it need a bit more work then the 70's edition but is much better then all what comes after... Airfix made a mistake with propeller blades, they are reversed in the kit :venere: I have engraved the panel lines, add a machine gun cover on the left side under the cockpit and make some cockpit details from scratch, dash board comes from YAHU Poland - nice thing. Decals are mix from TECHMOD registration and GALDECAL swastikas. Painted yellow and grey FS26440 from Gunze, olive green from Modelmaster FS34096. 47 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 That looks great, a scheme I had planned for mine & I reckon you've caught it beautifully. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28ZComeback Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) Outstanding build and finish. What did you use for the rigging? I thought it was a 1/48 kit! Edited June 30, 2021 by 28ZComeback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Superb Bulldog – I took it for a Pyro 1/48th at first glance! Are the tailplanes from the kit? I don't remember them being so thick and clumsy looking, especially compared with the fin/rudder. An enviable effort! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyot Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Very nice indeed,.... I built one of these many years ago but it was the variant with a cowled engine. Using an Aeroclub engine enclosed inside a metal cowling,......... it was so nose heavy that it used to tip onto its nose all on its own LOL!! !It got squashed by a shelf,..... and was nowhere near the quality of your model.

Gary Brantley Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 That is exquisite work in any scale! Very impressive 1/72 build for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
