1/32nd scale Bristol Scout 1264

[sandbagger]

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

Fantastic result, Mike. The translucent effect on the wings is outstanding.

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

Magical work, and glad you had a chance to pilot the real one . Nice one Mike !

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

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!!
