About product

Bristol Buckingham B.I/C Mk.I (1:144, Valom)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the British Bristol Buckingham aircraft in 1:144 scale from the Czech maker Valom. It is a short-run kit in a smaller scale, typical of Valom's range; the decal sheet covers several sets of markings. Check the exact contents of the box against the manufacturer's part number for this item.

The real subject

The Bristol Buckingham was a British twin-engine aircraft of the end of the Second World War, powered by Bristol Hercules radial engines. It was first laid out as a fast day bomber, but its development ran late and more capable types overtook it in the bomber role. Part of the production therefore came out as a fast courier and liaison aircraft (the C version, Courier). Total production was small, and the Buckingham is among the less well-known British aircraft, which makes it an interesting and unusual subject for collectors.

Building and painting tips

Short-run kits tend to have heavier sprues and a softer fit of the parts, so check the joints dry before gluing and sand them if need be. The small scale forgives slight inaccuracies, but it still pays to finish the transparent areas cleanly. Paint with an airbrush over a primer; bring out the British camouflage scheme with a light wash of the panel lines. Given how small the model is, choose fine decals and go carefully with the varnish.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of aircraft in the small 1:144 scale
  • Anyone interested in less well-known British aircraft of the Second World War
  • Modelers who get on with short-run kits
  • Builders looking for an unusual subject for a display case

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The model is in the small 1:144 scale, which suits a display case and collectors with limited space.

B is the bomber version and C (Courier) the fast courier and liaison aircraft; the kit allows the Mk.I variant to be built.

It is a short-run kit that calls for more careful work on the joints, so we recommend it rather to the mildly advanced.
