Bristol F.2B Fighter (1/32, Wingnut Wings)
« on: September 16, 2016, 05:35:05 PM »
I have started working on this very well known kit a couple of days ago. A usual sequence with cockpit bits first - cutting the elements from the sprues, cleaning delicate flash, airbrushing, masking, wash, etc. brought me to this point when I am starting the internal rigging and subassemblies are worth taking my camera out of its bag.

BTW, I am planning this one in Polish markings (what a surprise!), one of two Rolls Royce powered Bristols among just over 100 Hisso ones in Polish post WW1 service.

No resting on your Laurels for you is there! I almost started my F2b instead of the SE5a. I am now glad that I waited as I am sure your build will be inspirational and educational! Beautiful interior work!

How come you managed to cut so thin wooden slats ?    ;D

Fantastic working.

Magnificent interior work, as always, Przemo!  Like Rick, I'm glad I put off doing mine so I won't be embarrassed by comparison.  I do plan on doing a 1/48 scale Biff very soon, so I'll be using yours as a guide.
Cheers,
Bud

Ed has written it: another mini-masterpiece in the making. I will be following this masterclass with interest as usual.

As all the others have said: an impressive start, very nice! That wicker sear is straight from the box?
