Special Hobby Bristol M1c Trainer 1/32

[rlrimell]

Hi Guys,

Just finished our review of the SH Bristols and on balance, I consider  these are their best yet. They have certainly been taking a good look at how WNW tackle things.

I, too, would like to see a 1-32 Brandenburg C.I-but which version? So many to choose from!

Cheers,

Ray R.

The decals are very very thin and stretchy. I am full of foreboding at the thought of fitting the large checker sheets. The engine is a bit soft, but hardly visible anyway. The cockpit is superb, but again is hardly visible once closed. There's no instructions on mounting some the cockpit controls in mine.

On balance, so far 10 for effort, 9 for achievement. It's a step change from special hobby.

Oh dear, as feared the decals are too thin and the chequers would not move then ripped when placed. I've had to abandon that scheme, which is a pain as the wings were already painted and decalled. Be warned.

Sorry to hear of the decal issues Dave, it is a shame considering the kit itself appears to be very good, looking forward to seeing the build of this kit.

Would you like me to move this topic into the "under construction" board.

Dont worry Des, I was just warning about the decals. I hope to get her done using some spare Alleycat decals this week, then Ill post  a completion thread.

I just ordered one of these from Squadron (a Black Friday special.)  Really looking forward to seeing Mr. UPS show up at my door with it.  A lot of nice marking options.  I plan to stay away from the "checkerboard."  I hope using another scheme solves the decal issue.

I might have to add this one to my wish list!

I've nearly finished mine, but had to use spare Alleycat decals in the end. Some was my fault, but they are very grabby decals
