- A gleaming silver steed flown by the most capable and intrepid young men Britain could call upon, the Bristol Bulldog was one of the most important British aircraft of the inter-war period, when powerful biplane fighters unquestionably ruled the skies. Initially developed as a private venture by the Bristol Aeroplane Company, the Bulldog was the brainchild of accomplished aircraft designer Frank Barnwell, the man behind the successful Bristol F2B Fighter of the Great War, and was a light, all-metal and fabric-covered fighter, powered by a 440hp Bristol Jupiter engine.

The Bulldog was armed with a pair of forward-firing Vickers 0.303" machine guns mounted on either side of the cockpit, but ultimately never fired its guns in anger during a relatively short seven-year period serving with Fighter Command. Although it was the most capable fighter of the day, the Bulldog was more closely associated with challenging formation flying and spectacular aerobatics, with the Royal Air Force thrilling huge crowds at airshows and pageants around the country, as they demonstrated the effectiveness of a modernising air force.

Can’t wait to see this in the US. There’s also a whole list of ‘Silver Wings’ we’d love to see.
What a great kit airfix. Well done d barder would love this.
Can't wait for mine to get here! Thank you Airfix!
Can't wait for this to be release, I'm buying at least 2.....stunning kit, stunning aircraft. Any chance of doing a 1/24 Biplane, like the Sopwith Pup or the S.E. 5A.😻
Good idea actually, the two Upavon aircraft would look good together...
Very smart!
Nice
For me, the Bulldog is ''The kit of the Year''.
Ebay is going to be flooded with the old pyro/lindberg kits now. 😁
Yes, very nice.😊
..отлично!..
A pilot figure would have been nice.
Cue the sermon on how no one uses them anymore...
I Agree, but in decent pose not just with their hands on there knees.
Been looking forward to this. It may have to jump to the top of stash.
In one of Airfix's videos, the man says that pilot figures are very expensive to design and make the mold for.
Monogram used to have pretty decent figures in their aircraft kits from the '70s onward; the arms were separate so they could be positioned on the controls. They could do it 40-50 years ago, so....
No-one uses them anymore👌
Will you release this model kit in india..? Please..
What is the point of having the little extra plastic stick out bits on the spru?
To provide venting in the moulding tool, so the parts are filled better.
They can be ejector points off the part so that you don't have pin marks on the surfaces.
Was this the aircraft Douglas Bader crashed in, losing his legs?
He was flying a Bristol Bulldog Mk.IIa.
