Airfix - Bristol Bulldog Mk.II - 1:48
Product Code:
A05141
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.
