Blackburn AD Scout - 1/100
« on: February 04, 2015, 05:16:24 AM »
My friends! One more addition to my WWI collection, at the time is a Blackburn AD, a strange plane, this fighter with a pusher configuration is planning for attack a Zepellin with recoiless guns. Only four airframes are fabricated in 1915. The desing prove is weak and poor handling and manobrality. Because this RNAS abandoned the program.

The model is a beta from Murph's Models. The original scale is 1/28, but I reduce to my usual scale collection. The rigging have some particular interpretations because a lack of good pics and drawnings about subject.























Best regards!

It certainly is a strange looking aircraft, but you have done a wonderful job with your model.

Fascinating and what a lovely build at this tiny scale. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I certainly wouldn't have liked to have trusted my life, as pilot, to this bizarre creature.

Best wishes
Nigel
