WNW Bristol F2B - The Crocodile
« on: March 16, 2025, 09:59:32 PM »
WNW Bristol F2b 'The Crocodile' of 33 TDS Witney, Some research was needed for this one starting from the available 1/32 decal sheet and going from that to this, from what ive found there are 3 versions of this aircraft. The first being with partly painted wings and the full crocodile face painted on the nose. The second being same in the fuselage but with the front radiator being replaced and wings fully painted and the final version which this is based off with the radiator replaced and the cowling top which I left off being completely black. The crocodile markings were hand painted

The finish on this one leaves me without words..... Eye catching would be an understatement - so WOW will have to do.
