Thread: Bristol MIC

  1. #1

    Default Bristol MIC

    Can any of you chaps give me a heads up on this aircraft?
    For example do Shapeways do it, or could a Bullet be easily converted.
    Mrs K. has taken a shine to one as she hales from Bristol.

    Yes, do please let us know how you get on with it, Rob. I have been wondering about buying one myself for a while.

    Needs some shading work, but the rough is done.

    Check out this guy: Captain Frederick D. Travers

    Shot down a Fokker D.VII in one of these. Look out Hun, if Eileen gets one of these!

    Thanks for the card Mike.
    Eileen will be flying a silver Bullet with a red nose and the Letters E and I on the left and right top wing.
    So I will send you a top down as soon as I get it painted up.
    She will of course have the Bulldog on the side.

    It's so very kind of you to spend time on the artwork of the aeroplane card Mike.
    Bristol is my home town - hence the interest in the planes made at Filton.
    The only previous interest was when the first trial run of the Concorde engine was made and they broke the sound barrier when flying over my school and all the windows rattled!

    Interesting plane indeed. Pity it was included later than it should.

    Rob will be delighted to paint the silver Bristol with a red nose, for my personal use.
    Thanks for the research, great photos.

    Need to get some of these in the colors seen in my avatar -- second-favorite after the Hanriot (the single gun causes it to lose out).

    That is a good looking card. Thank you for making it. I have ordered two Bristol M1C's from Shapeways but they are having problems with 'layering'.

    Thanks for that card Mike.
    Once again the swiftness of your hand deceives the eye.
    I expect Eileen will send you a message when she gets back from the Machine Embroidery course she is teaching today.

    I'll enjoy using it when I fly my plane. Rob has found a spare 'n' deck so I will have everything I need to fly.
    Many Thanks,
    Eileen
