1/32nd scale Bristol Scout 1264
« on: July 31, 2024, 12:28:02 AM »
Hi all
The Scout is now completed
This model shows David Bremner's reproduction of Scout 1264, as it is now
I chose not to apply any weathering and to show the aircraft 'clean'
The main differences between David's Scout 1264 and a WW1 Scout are
Cockpit layout and details
Pitot static probes and associated pipework
Separated upper wing centre section and outer wings

As usual my website has a PDF build log (on Logs page 1), which covers the differences between this model and my previous build log for Scout 1260
Where the build details are the same, this build log refers back to the other build log

Thanks for your support and comments throughout this build

Mike

Having seen the real thing close up many times, it really does look like the real thing! Lovely modelling Mike, the rendition of the fabric surfaces is superb.

Hi all,
Today I delivered the model to Theo Wilford at the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden, Bedfordshire.
David Bremner was there with Scout 1264 doing his monthly air test.
I had a long and informative chat with David and Theo before being kindly offered to ground run the Scout.
Being 6' 3" tall made it a real struggle to get into the cockpit.
More so as my foot slipped out of the foot step, but luckily David was there to hold me up.
It was a great experience to run the Scout and way different to running Tornado's, which I did many times in the RAF.
So a great day all round,

Mike

I'm sure Theo appreciated that lovey model. And what a wonderful experience it must have been to be able to get in the Scout!
