The top Canadian ace of the Great War: this 1/10th fine-scale bust portrays Air Marshal William Avery “Billy” Bishop, VC, CB, DSO & Bar, MC, DFC (1894–1956). Officially credited with 72 aerial victories, Bishop was one of the most decorated pilots of the First World War and, by some accounts, the top-scoring ace of the entire British Empire. Sculpted by Robert Lane, he’s a definitive character study for any Great War aviation collection.
The kit is a multi-part bust supplied unassembled and unpainted, and requires assembly. Any groundwork shown in the photographs was provided by the artist and is not included. Not suitable for children under 12.

Leather flying coat, fur collar, medals and a strong likeness make Bishop a rewarding portrait — the face and decorations are ideal territory for our Kolinsky sable brushes. Collect the aces alongside Cecil Lewis and Lanoe Hawker in our Great War pilot busts range.
