Blue Max Bristol M.1C, 1/48 scale.

Fun old kit of a cool looking airplane. Intended to build it completely out-of-box but some drama prevented me doing so.

The bottom shot.



Decals were old and cracked but I saved most. The tailskid was half the size it should be and the kit wheel/tires looked small. I scratched a new skid and resin cast some wheels from an Eduard Camel and used those. I added missing oil and fuel caps and I was able to splice together the correct serial number from the kit. My own recipe for PC-12.




I replaced all the control horns and rigged with E-Z Line fine. I somehow lost the kit machine gun and replaced with a Gaspatch 3D printed version. I added 3D printed rivets around the metal fuselage and Quinta 3D linen lacing.












I enjoyed my first "Blue Max" kit and will be building more of them.



But really, where could something as big as the machine gun have vanished to......
