    Bristol Bulldog

    I was wondering which model to do after finishing the Stephenson's Rocket when I found an old Profile magazine covering the Bristol Bulldog.  I must have had this for a few years as it cost me 35pence. Then I searched in my stash and found this. Looking on the internet, this...

    Stephenson's Rocket
