Special Hobby: Bristol M.1C "Bullet"Posted: Saturday, October 18, 2014 - 07:09 AM UTC
MPM Production look set to have a sure-fire hit on their hands with their latest 1:32 WWI aircraft - the famous Bristol "Bullet". Previously only available in this scale as a resin kit, the Bristol M.1C has long fascinated modellers as one of the classic "What-If"s of the Great War. Largely ignored by the RFC on account of its suspicion of monoplanes and the Bullet's supposedly high landing speed, we'll never know what impact the 130 mph fighter could have made over the Western Front, since it was side-lined to the Middle East.

While it's nice to think of what might have been, it's also great to have obscure planes from other theaters represented in 32 scale. Thanks for posting this, Rowan!

G-EAVP, with the Jupiter engine (need a 32d Bulldog) now that would be a build. I don't care what color it was I would make it RED....

Hi again
My kit turned up today and, on first brief inspection, looks to be a real little gem!
All the best

Hi again
I managed to take a proper look today and - barring a couple of really irritating (and pointless?) ejector pin marks - it's as sweet as first impressions indicated.
All the best
