Bristol F.2b S.No. C801 of No.5 Sqdn.

Standard Kit now comes with HYPER Motor/Gearbox

Post War Livery Bristol Fighter

The latest Microaces Bristol F.2b kit sees a substantial kit revision that incorporates a rib-less wing design for a more scale appearance, plus a number of new scale features and options to make it even more appealing to the scale enthusiast. 

The Microaces Bristol F2b kit can arguably reclaim the title of 'the most detailed  microscale aircraft of the Microaces range'. Now with strut mounted pitot tube and a 3D printed rotating fuel pressure pump prop mounted on the undercarriage included in the kit.

History in the Making

Our love of aviation history ensures that the aircraft we choose to reproduce as kits not only look fantastic on static display and in the air, but they also carry a depth of history that can be explored. This beautiful silver winged aircraft served as part of RAF 5 Squadron in the 1920s in Quetta, India. No.5 Squadron used the Bristol F.2b in front line service right up until 1931. They were the last British squadron to de-commission this magnificent aircraft.

Added Detail 

In addition to the detail already lavished on the Microaces Aero Bristol F.2b kit, the No.5 Squadron aircraft also includes the tropical radiator mounted under the nose (additional cooling required in the hot condition it was operating in) and the extended exhaust system down both sides of the fuselage. Enormous static appeal as well as a presence in the air that belies its diminutive 1/24th scale.

This kit NOW INCLUDES...

The standard Microaces Bristol F.2b kit is now supplied with the HYPER Motor & gearbox for increased power for the model as well as the GWS5030 prop and adapter.

To complete the kit for radio controlled flight, all you need is an All In One (AIO) Receiver that's compatible with your transmitter.

'Bomb's away!'

The Bristol F.2b was originally designed as a bomber and, although it was much more successful as a fighter aircraft, it retained the capability to carry ordnance on three detachable racks on the underside of the lower wings.

We've 3D modeled the rack of four 25lb Cooper bombs and the more substantial Royal Laboratories 112lb HE bomb and rack that can be attached to any of the three points on the Brisfit to elevate the level of detail of this kit beyond anything available at this scale (and a good deal larger too).

The ordnance can be taken into the air too: the weight of the Cooper Bomb Rack is 1.8g and the RL 112lb Bomb and Rack is even lighter at only 1.2g. So the effect on flight performance is minimal.

3D Printed Pilots

A fantastic enhancement to the kit, that really upgrades the level of realism is a 3 dimensional pilot. Add one (or two) to your order for the ultimate 'finishing touch'!
