Bristol Scout D's

Well, I've nearly finished two of the three Bristols. The MAC kit is completed as the flight instructor (FI on the fusilage) version. This kit was a pleasure to build and went together with minimal work. I would recommend it to anyone wishing to build a scout. Very nice to provide parts for two engine variants, three cowling's and two upper wing versions. The Aeroclub kit built up to a nice kit as well. The plastic is very brittle and unforgiving and the white metal struts and undercarriage need to be replaced. This kit has two white metal engines and multiple decal options as well. I am going to finish the third Libramodel kit at a later date. It is superbly moulded but needs a lot of scratch building and the decals are not accurate at all.
Here are some pics of the MAC kit

The prop cover should extend all the wat to the engine cowl.

I'm especially impressed with the cockpits. And thanks for illustrating all the nose jobs available in the MAC kits. That let me focus on the Scout C that I'm building.

Beautiful work !

I like the MAC kit too - and you did nice work painting that prop spinner - not easy I think ?

But I love the scheme on the Aeroclub Scout best - I think I will do my MAC (the same as yours) in such a scheme

Just like the perfect woman doesn't exist, I will never build a perfect model.

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature WWI Aircraft Kits.

  1. This Group Build will run until 31 December, 2011.

  2. Build as many kits as you like.

  3. Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

  4. Any markings are acceptable.

  5. Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
