Robert PodkońskiWatching too 😉 (this is quite well engineered kit - I've assembled it some time ago. Pay attention to the v-shaped undercarriage "legs" as these are "handed" for left and right side, and the actuators must be attached to the self-made "longerons" inside the openings the fuselage - this is not quite well shown in the instruction)

Juergen Klinglhuberthx's gents for joining.
@Robert - thank you for the heads up - already thought that this could get tricky. I will pay specíal attention.

gorbyThis looks interesting.
(At first I thought you were building an egg plane.)

Alex KWith this here Bristol and two Bugatti racers (all intended for the Coupe Deutsch de la Meurthe...) on the news feed these days, one can almost feel such topics are gathering momentum! 👍

Juergen KlinglhuberTHx guys for leaving your comments,.... it was more the racer topic than the egg plane appearance that caught my attention 🙂
I even did not think about egg until gorby brought this up 🙂 ...it seems the first ever build egg plane routes back to 1927

Stefan FraundorferHello Jürgen, that's an interesting thing. Without the original photo, I would have thought it was a caricature of an airplane.
I'm looking forward to the finished model.

Juergen Klinglhuber@S M - it is PA (super glue). Works perfect as long as only "mirco" drops are used as the yarn is curling when PA is used too much.

Matthew APhoto 11 makes it look as though it's just escaped a chain gang in an ol' black n' white film

Andy BallWow! A plane that I thought would feature on "catch the pigeon"…a real beauty. Superbly done!!

Ludvík KružíkReally interesting plane, especially the spinner that looks like a sports car wheel rim. 🙂
I'm sure it will be a great addition to your collection. 👍

bughunterI had the opportunity to see this gem with my own eyes at the model building fair in Ried. What a beautiful little piece! I was really surprised how big or rather small this Bristol is in reality.
And it was a pleasure to meet the builder in person - thank you very much!
