Bristol F2B Fighter ARF 7
The Bristol F2B Fighter, that we have modeled, is
the aircraft that is kept in flying condition by the
Shuttleworth Collection in England. These pictures
show details of the aircraft as it looks today. The
front cowling plates have been removed for service
and reveal the powerful 12 cylinder Rolls Royce en-
gine as well as the areas adjacent to the cockpit.
The paint scheme was changed in 1981, when the
aircraft was completely overhauled, and is now rel-
evant to the period at the end of the war. The serial
number has been placed on the fin and the aft sec-
tion has white stripes across the sides and upper
surface of the fuselage. The all over paint color is PC10
(we use olive drab which is like sun bleached PC10)
on all upper surfaces and natural linen off white on the
under surfaces. Above the large identification letter
”S” is a instruction and warning not to fly without gun-
ner/observer or equivalent weight in the rear cockpit.
The model that we have depicted in this manual has
since been repainted and shows now the accurate
scheme.
