!/48 Roden WW1 Bristol F2

[randy_ditton]

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..

Thanks for looking in!!
