Mike Grant Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 An old bagged kit that I'd had for (literally) decades before I decided to build it a few years ago. It's a really nice kit, especially considering its vintage. Finished as one of two Bulldogs sent to the US for evaluation – this one crashed during a dive when an aileron failed. Markings are somewhat conjectural as I was unable to find actual photos.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Migrant/OnlineFinished/BristolBulldog/34_LR_zpsio0ccidh.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Migrant/OnlineFinished/BristolBulldog/36_zpsqaxb6bch.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Migrant/OnlineFinished/BristolBulldog/35_LR_zpsalr8htlz.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Migrant/OnlineFinished/BristolBulldog/41_LR_zpshhxdehzg.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/Migrant/OnlineFinished/BristolBulldog/33_LR.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew72 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Interesting scheme, rigging is outstanding, and a first rate finish. Incredible. All the while showing everyone that an old kit can be made into a superb replica. Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Symmons Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Just been looking at the one in my stash, and was tempted, but now stared something else. You's is a stunning build 10/10. The rigging is especially well done, what did you use? Didn't know any dogs when to the US so you've taught me something. The markings, as you said, might be sort-off but they look just right you should be proud. Keep them coming.Hope you don't mind but I'm going to save some of your photos as referance for when I do my build.Remember we do this for fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
