About

Maxford USA has a reputation for manufacturing high-quality, ARF aircraft. Additionally, the company manufactures some seldom-modeled aircraft such as the German World War I fighter Hansa-Brandenburg W.29. The F.2B Bristol Fighter, one of Maxford’s recent offerings, falls into this unique category. If you’re into WW I warbirds—especially British warbirds—the Bristol definitely fits the bill. Assembly is more complicated than a typical ARF, but the result is worth the effort! Read the full review in the February 2015 issue of Model Aviation.
