And I'll repeat what I said in the Specific Aircraft Builds section, fantastic work Mike, a lovely result. The figures really help tell a story about the aircraft and where it is in the world, a really good addition to a superb model.

Loved following along with the build log, and the way it came together in the final product was nothing short of stunning. I'll be referring to it many, many times when I finally tackle my Brisfit.

Great work, Mike!

Fan-Freakin'-Tastic.  That prop is to die for.  Great presentation too.  I just love it.

Hi Dan,
The propeller is not a painted kit part.
It's from Alexey Belov at 'Proper Plane.
I just painted the tips and weathered it,

This is beautiful work Mike.  The Bristol is elegantly done in the scheme you chose. The figures really add a sense of period and location.  I’ve spent a lot of time in desert locations and I like the stones you have placed.  Don’t often see this terrain modeled the way you depicted.
Well done … again.

Tim

Mike - that is exceptional work indeed. The aircraft is superb, and the display with figures is your best yet. I really like how you've composed this one - just excellent.
Cheers,
