Now for something completely different

[rochie]

They come in lots of colours I got mine at Hobbycraft for £3.49. The tip was too thick for what I wanted to do maybe if I cut it to a point it might have been better.

will have a look on my next day off, thanks

Ohhh balls. I dropped the canopy on the floor and found it the traditional way Crunch!!! as I stood on it

I have dipped it in Humbrol Clear Gloss hopefully that will glue it together and tone down the cracking.

Nope, it was not your fault. The area was heavily defended by Flaks. You were lucky that shrapnel didn't hurt you.

That sucks. Hope it clears up good.

Tragic mishap. Pilot definitely karked now.

Look at the bright side (if there is such a thing in this instance):
It could have been a Lego you stepped on...

Good work so far!

Coming along nicely now got the wheels on and the glazing. Unfortunately the cracked canopy is never going to be perfect but a couple of coats of gloss varnish have toned down the cracks.

Transfers next I have got some 35inch prewar decals for the wings and 24inch for the fuselage. I might see if I have some spare blue/red decals for the full on stealth look

Been thinking of names and I reckon the Bristol Bletchley.

 

[GrauGeist]

Perhaps the Bristol Crane?

Cranes are some of the world's highest flying birds.

I think all Bristol planes had alliterative names so while it's a good name it's not right for a Brizzle.

True, I should have remembered that virtually all their aircraft names start with the letter "B" (if not just a "Type xxx" designation).

Hmmm...

 

[GrauGeist]

Perhaps the "Bristol Bodkin"?

 

[CATCH 22]

Been thinking of names and I reckon the Bristol Bletchley.

Or maybe Bristol Buzzard ...

Good name I should have thought of that we have lots of Buzzards that fly over my house

 

[fastmongrel]

Just needs a coat of satin varnish to seal the paint and transfers.

Unfortunately the cracked canopy I will just have to live with until I can find a replacement

 

[Wurger]

Nice. I like the PAF checkerboard.
