A while ago, I started a scratch-building project and recorded its progress in this blog. Since then, I have been meaning to get on with another project, but have never quite got round to it. Then, for Christmas 2020, my brother sent me an Airfix Bristol Bulldog, probably for something to do during lockdown. In that spirit, I was planning to build it straight out of the box, but when it came down to it I couldn't quite bring myself to do that, and I couldn't quite find the time to make a proper job of it. Anyway, a few years later, I have finallly made time and made a a start.
The box art in this issue is by the late Roy Cross:
And this is what you get in the box (there are transparencies, but I seem to have lost them):
And this will be my main reference (I got it used from Amazon, ex Nottingham Central Library):
Incidentally, when I logged in to create this post, I noticed that the last one was in 2013. Scary how time flies. Must get a move on. Also, I remember predicting at the outset that this blog would soon outlive its title, and so it has proved, because this Bulldog will have the classic interwar aluminium finish. But if all goes well, I will soon be mixing up a new batch of PC10 for some new project.
More soon.
