Brisfit!

Guy, that first photo shows Capt W Sydney Addison and Lt Wilmot Hudson Fysh of the AFC preparing to take of on a mission from Mejdel, Palistine, early 1918.  Cool looking scheme.  Planning on doing a White and PC10 scheme myself one day.

I know Silver Wings do a 1/48 Jupiter engine (and Karaya do a 1/48 version) but I do not know if it is the right type

Thanks Bud, so is that one of the two tone schemes then? I thought it looked all white?

Guy, some time ago I have built a small Roden's Brisfit in that white-PC10 colours. You might like it for your WNW model. It is A-7198 from 1. Sqn of AFC basing in El Medjel, Palestine in March 1918, flown, among others, by Lt. E. Headlam and Lt. E. Beaton.

Amen, Bud...some day, me too...when I can snag an F2b... love the AFC/RFC/RAF's history in Palestine...(your man Fysh there went on to co-found QANTAS.)

This might be a good place to start, Guy.

I have this sheet in 1/48 scale, but can't honestly speak to the quality.  They look good, but I seem to recall reading a negative review somewhere.  I expect I'll have to experiment with some none crucial markings before committing them to a model.
Cheers,
Bud

There are a couple of silver schemes possible that didn't have all the extra slats tail and accoutrements. There's a pic of one in the datafile of F4717? In silver with a 2 colour fuselage stripe I was going to do.

Thanks Bud, but I'll probably use masks although it's helpful to see the image...

Dave, ooh, that's piqued my interest.. Longer exhausts though, but otherwise looks like a wartime Brisfit?






Guy

You can't actually see the exhausts on the only photo as the top wing is in the way. It certainly stops before the fuselage roundel. The datafile goes for yellow wheels and red yellow red band.

Thanks again Dave,

Any chance of posting a link to that photo?

Guy

[drdave]

I'll zap u a photo personally, from the datafile.
