Marklo Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Built for the GB but owing to life etc getting in the way of modelling didn’t quite make the GB deadline. For 1917 they were both somewhat ahead of their time. The F was powered by the Sunbeam Arab while the F1 was essentially the same airframe with a Mercury engine, both aircraft performed well but neither engine was reliable enough to go into series production, hence neither Scout got past the prototype stage.

Vulcanicity Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Excellent especially considering they're scratchbuilt. Must go and look these types up in The British Fighter Since 1914 as they're new to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book I have is the British fighter since 1912 the F is pictured on page 114. My main reference was fighters of the First World War volume 1 which shows both and has line drawings.
