sandbagger Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Hi all The Scout is now completed This model shows David Bremner's reproduction of Scout 1264, as it is now I chose not to apply any weathering and to show the aircraft 'clean' The main differences between David's Scout 1264 and a WW1 Scout are Cockpit layout and details Pitot static probes and associated pipework Separated upper wing centre section and outer wings As usual my website has a PDF build log (on Logs page 1), which covers the differences between this model and my previous build log for Scout 1260 Where the build details are the same, this build log refers back to the other build log Thanks for your support and comments throughout this build Mike 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandbagger Posted August 13 Author Share Posted August 13 Hi all, Today I delivered the model to Theo Wilford at the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden, Bedfordshire. David Bremner was there with Scout 1264 doing his monthly air test. I had a long and informative chat with David and Theo before being kindly offered to ground run the Scout. Being 6' 3" tall made it a real struggle to get into the cockpit. More so as my foot slipped out of the foot step, but luckily David was there to hold me up. It was a great experience to run the Scout and way different to running Tornado's, which I did many times in the RAF. So a great day all round, Mike 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerWomble Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Magical work, and glad you had a chance to pilot the real one . Nice one Mike ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archimedes Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 That is one of the best examples of fooling the eye into believing the wing is translucent that I have ever seen. Not only your model making skills Mike but also the lighting for the photography as flawless. Amazingly good. Kind regards, Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeg Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Indeed great work and 10/10 points for the paintjob. You deserved the ground running. Will your Scout be displayed at Shuttleworth? It is nice to see that they have a great model collection aswell though alreade their big ones are fantastic on their own. Will look for the scout on my next visit!!
