Hi all,
Bristol F.2b, Serial No. A-7194 of No.111 Squadron RFC, Deir-el-Belah, Palestine during 1917.
As usual, a fully detailed build log, which includes all materials, modifications, rigging etc for this build can be downloaded from the 'Logs' page on my site.

Build log is in the Under Construction forum.

Thanks for your comments and support throughout this build,

Mike

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.

Your Brisfit is really stunning, Mike -

Love your figures and the display really tells a story.

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.

Cheers,
