This is my new project, a Bristol M.1c. I think this a nice colorful airplane and the aileron is a nice detail. I will not use decals for this one because I want to paint it. First I a need a good plan for airbrushing, in wich sequence, but I have time. And I also need to make the masks.

Some pics of the sprues

Beautiful resin parts included

Some PE

Decals

And a manual

For reference I use pics I can find and Mike has a nice WIP here on the forum and a PDF on his site.

Thanks for watching

Seems like a better base than my 1/48 BlueMax, but I'm glad there's a kit at all.

That is an interesting marking - it will be a demanding paint job! I like also the right replaced aileron.

Cheers,
Frank

That's lovely surface detail!

I might have to get me one of them!

Cheers,

This looks a smashing kit from Special Hobby - that resin wicker seat really does look the bees knees.

Good luck on your build, mate - I shall be watching with great interest.

Regards

Dave

Thanks for following, it's always an extra motivation.

First cuts are made, first things are sanded en glued. Normally I would paint the parts first but this time I tried to gluw

And the aileron pulleys. I drilled 0,3mm holes for the cables.

I see I have to sand a little more.
The fueltank and some small stuff

The foot rests and the control colomn. I drilled holes 0,3mm through the control colomn for the elevator cables. I also drilled a hloe in de stcontrol colomn and put a rod in in for some more strenght.

I drilled holes in the rudder bar for some turnbuckles. I ordered turnbuckles from Gaspatch but I have no idea when they arrive. I just have to be patient ( or order them sooner

)I also placed a rod in the rudder bar for more strenght when glueing it to the foot rests.

First color can be applied and the oil paints can be pulled out the drawer.

Thanks for watching.

Nice work on all of the drilling for the wires and pins for strength! Looking good!

Thank you.

First I sprayed the parts with gloss black and then Tamiya XF55 Deck tan. When this was dry I toke the burnt umber oilpaint and started painting. I think this is not easiest way to paint when so much parts are assembled. When the oilpaint was applied I took a brush and dipped it in VMS Oil Expert enhancing medium and painted the woodgrain. It is not my finest work but it will do for this model. After two days I could handle the parts and started detail painting. Normally I let the oilpaint dry for min 5 days but the VMS helps drying the oilpaint.

Some pics

Today my pakkage arrived with the turnbuckles and eyelets. I always thought Gaspatch was een company from the UK but it is a greek. Sorry guys if you are reading this

The eyelets

And the turnbuckles
