RFC Bleriot

A World War One GB - any subject, any scale, 1914-1918 - this is not a 1914-specific GB.
Runs 6 weeks, July 28th to September 8th, to allow plenty of time for biplanes, rigging, and holidays.
Your GBL is Chris, assisted by jRatz.

RFC Bleriot

Post by fredk »

I think I'll use this kit to make an early RFC Bleriot monoplane which was sent to France in 1914.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

That looks a good choice.

Interesting and appropriate choice Fred. One to watch I think.

If I continue with this one its going to take me much longer than usual. I was given this kit some years ago. Upon looking at the parts this evening I find there are parts for two aeroplanes, but also some parts are missing or broken. Thus there will have to be a certain amount of scratch building to complete just one Bleriot.
