Description
This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of a Bristol F.2a Fighter. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.
Fifty Bristol F.2A fighters were produced before production was switched over to the improved Bristol F.2B. While it had a disastrous debut where four of six planes were shot down, it wasn’t long before crews figured that the “BrisFit” could be flown as a conventional fighter rather than a slow, stable two-seater, and the plane’s good qualities were made apparent. The F.2A differed from the F.2B by the use of the 190hp Rolls-Royce Falcon I, an uncovered section in the lower center wing, the lack of radiator shutters, a tailplane of shorter span and somewhat wider chord, and more upright center longerons.
The model is offered in different materials. See the FAQ for a comparison of the different material choices. In the Shipping tab, please note the increased shipping costs for an order with mixed materials.
