Thanks Jinxman. I'm only in Bridgnorth, so if you ever want to borrow it, please don't hesitate to ask Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Thanks Cliff, You are a gentleman and a scholar. 👨🎓 I've acquired a Vertigo acrylic jig to use on my Bulldog, however it won't be used until after the GB has ended, due to my usual tardiness. If it doesn't work out I'll be hopping onto the SVR at Kidderminster to take you up on your offer! cheers, Scott 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 The jig is also useful for holding the model while details are added, for example these extra struts to the tail skid. Now released from its cage, here's the Brisfit complete with struts and u/c. Just the rigging and rear armament to add now Cheers 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 This is a great subject and you are doing a brilliant job on the old kit. This is also the first time I have seen the 'jig' in action so to speak, and I can now see the advantage of it in all it's glory! It is so much better than using the Mk1 eyeball and a shuddering hand to align things! All the best, Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Lovely work on that tail skid, and the aeroplane looks very neat sat on its u/c. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Ooh la-la! (or the Polish equivalent) (zachwyt?). That is the neatest, tidiest Brisfit ever! Very nice... Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 Thank you for your kind comments @Ray S @Jinxman and @AdrianMF I'm going to put this aside now for a few days, so that I can make some progress on my Ford Mustang build (deadline also loomimg). Hopefully I'll come back refreshed and ready for the rigging! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Excellent finish Cliff. Looks good in the Polish markings. The prop is well well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Greg Well, it's finally finished! It's been a while since I've built a 1/72 biplane, so the rigging's not as neat as it could have been - nevertheless, it looks OK in the cabinet I've particularly enjoyed this build, so thank you to all who have supported it and especially to @rob85 for hosting Cheers 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 What a great result @CliffB. From this side of the screen it is difficult to tell it was the old Airfix one! Superb. Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
