Bristol Fighter F.2B (1/48 Revell)
« on: February 28, 2016, 09:34:49 PM »
Bristol Fighter F.2B flown by Capt.Geoffrey Hughes in spring 1918 in Cambrai France.















































I know, the rigging is a little bit to thick :-[ . But now it is too late to change. It was my first WWI model after a long time (40 jears).

Besides the thickish rigging, the model is very well done,
especially after such a long absence. The figures are a
nice addition as well.  Good work, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

40 Years!? I'd say this is very impressive, that's a long break! Nice presentation, the figures are excellent. 8) 8)

I fully agree with what Ernie has said.

Hi!
Thank you for your praise. :)
Meanwhile, I've found the images of my first models. The aircraft are all out of the box built. Since the decals were broken at the Lozenge camouflage for the Fokker D VIII, I had to paint the camouflage itself  >:(. The decals of Spad dissolve unfortunately now on  :o . If I find time, I'll paint it again. Don't forget, the models are finally almost 40 years old.

My first DRI






Spad XIII








Sopwith Camel








Fokker D VIII








Please do not forget, these were my beginnings with modelmaking. Only cement, enamel, brush and no Internet  ::) .

Really nice models from many years ago, Jürgen.  I think
my favourite would be the SPAD.  You did a great job of
the lozenge on the D.VII as well.  Well done, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)
