The engine looks very good - just the right amount of weathering.

The engine is really looking the part installed in the airframe! Terrific work.

Thank you!

  Just need to get a matte coat on the airframe and weather it.Then I can finish the small details in the engine bay and the pilots seat.

Good evening everyone,

   Well I have a bit of bad news. I came home from work today to find the Bristol on the floor in pieces. I’m devastated. It is repairable. But it will take some time. So I will be suspending posting in this build blog. I will be continuing on the FE.2b. I am a little discouraged but I will be getting to the rebuilding of the Bristol at a later date.

      Thank you everyone For your kind words and encouragement during the build!

   The Bristol will rise again!

Hello all,

  Upon closer inspection the damage is nor to bad. I will have to re-glue the wings and struts. Do a minor repair to one of the struts in front of the cockpit, remount the landing gear and replace 5 or 6 of the rigging wires. Alll in all not bad.....

There was a cat involved. We live in an apartment and my display cases are full with other models.

 That's one of the reasons we don't have cats any longer .

No. The little guy is still with us. When I think about it....really it is my fault. I should have found a safer place for the Bristol.

Living with cats and modelling will always involve compromises.  I have accepted the fact that I will never build a contest-worthy model because I am never able to spot all of the cat hairs in time when I am painting or decaling.  My cats are not allowed in my hobby room, but I am quite proficient at breaking and losing parts all on my own.
