WNW Bristol F2B Fighter 'Magpie' AFC
« on: January 19, 2021, 03:29:47 AM »

My finished WNW Bristol F2B Fighter 'Magpie', a Australian Flying Corp machine based in Mesopotamia during WW1. The plane was known as Magpie due to its paint scheme. The kit was purchased partly built with a cockpit completed to a high standard from a gentleman who decided he would not be able to finish it. what do you think?

First class. An unusual colour scheme but all the more interesting as a result.
