Hi Folks,

Trying a WW1 plane this time for the contest over on Swanny's. Going with Roden's 1/48th Bristol.

This is one of those kits that look really nicely cast until you remove parts and notice the mold slip on all the little details :S

Starting with the motor. Will replace some of the small bits with brass fittings and wire.
Some extra detailing including spark plugs, wiring. rocker arm springs and such..
