Bristol Scout C (1/72, MAC Distribution)

[Chris Johnson]

Come to think of it, after seeing those images, I could do with a haircut too. Granted, I think your Scout has more than I do though.   

Cheers,

In recent days I have built the u/c structure (axis from scratch, legs from the kit). added control horns on the under surfaces and the rudder and finished the paint and weathering of the upper wing upper surface. The control lines and the u/c rigging still need tightening.







Now only the finishing touches remain - the control lines, engine with its cowling and propeller, the stiffening bar in the u/c and the wheels. The birdie should be completed soon.

A beautiful build!

Thanks, Rick and Terri.
And yet closer to the end of this project - only the aileron lines need tightening and the windshield is missing.

It is an outstanding work.

Terrific!

[Nigel Jackson]

What a super piece of work Prez! It's so good to see these early war types and you have made a fine job of it. Not far to go now.

Best wishes

What can I add? This looks so realistic. As Nigel has written it is good to see another of the less popular early types being modelled, and in this case by a truly gifted modeller.

[Epeeman]

Agree with others, Prez -

Looking great

Wow.

I have just come across your build log, Prze.  I'm not sure how I missed it,
but it is an absolute jewel. Your paint, weathering and staining are superb,
as usual in your builds.  great job on the rigging, as well.  All this in the teeny
scale on top of it all.  Great work, my friend.  Now that I am caught-up, I am
looking forward to your final pictures.

Cheers,
Ernie

Looking great Przemek!!! I really like the shading and weathering. I don`t like the metal on the cowling though. I think you should use a different paint - this one has too much grain, is it an acrylic?

[PrzemoL]

Thank you, everybody. I am glad you like my little Scout.

Filip, the cowling is indeed painted with acrylic paint. I know it is not the best item in my model. However I think, the paint grain looks overdone in the macro photography. In reality it is much more realistic. Anyway, my modelling conditions do not allow me to use anything else than acrylics. I have to live with the Citadel Mithril Silver. It is the best acrylic metal paint I have ever used. Not produced anymore but recently in eBay I came across an Irishmen who was selling two bottles, so now I have a reserve for a long time. 

And in the meantime, the Scout got completed. Last thing to report is that I replaced the kit wheels with Aeroclub white metal ones. One shot here, more in the Completed Models section.
