Here is my Brisfit--McKeever/Powell. This is a Shapeways model (I don't remember who designed it, it may have been Kampfflieger or jbmacek).
These Brisfits are amazing!
Well done.
Nice, where are the gunners from?
Shapeways. Again I don't remember who made them but I think it was Kampfflieger or Colinwe.
Two of my Biffs. By Kampfflieger, with crew and (total coverage) decals by Reviresco.
Lovely planes guys! I especially like your night fighter Rob!
I like Darryl's machines, and he has reminded me that I now have to paint up a wingman for Nigel's machine.

Yet again all very nice paint jobs
With the addition of the Polish insignia we get a totally different look to these somewhat dull all brown aircraft.
Another good rendition Zoe.

The usual artistic excellence Chris
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
They look amazing Chris
Those look great, Chris.
I really should repaint some of my many duplicates across my collection ...
Great stuff Chris, looking forward to the AAR’s
Thanks, all! These will be stiff competition for the Hun.
Yeah Pete, these are about impossible to find now and represent all my duplicates.Originally Posted by Stumptonian
Great job Chris. Seeing them all on a mission is terrific
Very nice examples of a great aircraft!
Great Bristols Chris. Look forward to flying them (or shooting at them) at Origins!
Thanks, all, I appreciate it!
Peter, I'll paint some flames on yours.
Very well painted Chris.
The different demarcations on the two flights adds even more interest to a fine bevy of aircraft.
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Wonderful painting on those Bristols.
My favourite thread so far, fabulous one and all.
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Thanks to the Biff Boys for showing some love to my beasties
Oooh Very very tasty Chris. Excellent work indeed
Regret, rep gun jammed, but shall try to remember to return when the armourer has dealt with the problem.
REP gun now unjammed. Well done the armourer

tidy brisfits chris!
Nice work there Chris! Great looking models!
Valom Bristol F2B - D-8084 (Dalrymple and Beagle) and B-1152 (Oades and Bunting) - respectively with the red on the top wing and the 'C'. Some silvering that needs touching up, but otherwise ready to go for the next OTT scenario (FYM 01).
Nice brace of Bristols Paul!
Excellent set of Bristols. Looking forward to seeing them in the OTT campaign.
"Looking forward to seeing them plummet to the ground in the OTT campaign." There, fixed your comment. New planes have a "getting shot down" reputation to uphold...er, downhold?
Nice-looking Bristols, Paul
Good work
Now this is what I call a painting thread....
Lovely job
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
