Well folks, another double build has come to an end with the completion of the Pup.
The kit is not perfect. I corrected the shape of the wingtips but didn't bother with the rest of the wing corrections: The ribs are spaced slightly incorrectly, which means that with the tips reshaped, the ailerons are slightly too short. A perfectionist might want to remove all the rib detail and correct the aileron length, but she looks ok to my eyes, and the surface detail is nicely done so I decided to leave it.
The build log is here: http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=8324.0
The subject will be familiar to WnW Pup fans, and TVAL fans also, as this is the scheme worn by their Pup. It represents N6205 of 3 (Naval) Sqn in Marieux, France, April 1917 as flown by FSLt J.S.T. Fall.
Joseph Stewart Temple Fall was a Canadian ace, credited with 36 kills, and honoured with the DSC (in May 1917) and 2 bars (both in December 1917), and the Air Force Cross (Jan 1919) for gallantry. He passed away in British Columbia in 1988 aged 93.

Me, I like it very much, Ian! What a lovely little Betty

As with all of your builds Ian they could be in a much larger scale than the True Scale that you work in. You have made another remarkable model here - thanks too for the information on the corrections and modifications that you have carried out.
I am now looking forward to seeing the Ilya Mourumets returning to the table....

Congratulations on a very fine Build Ian, it's a very nice example of what can be done with some of the older Kits, and along with the Tripe that kept pace with it during this double feature, will enhance your collection significantly. Great modelling!
Cheers,
Lance

Wonderful modelling in such a small scale. Your Pup turned out - as your Tripe - to be a first class modell in every aspect!

Very nice pup! Something about the pup's design makes it look like it's always eager to jump right into the air and go flying!
-
Another excellent result Ian.
Very well done. :)

I was following both of your builds very closely and I am glad to see the result does justice to the efforts you invested. Very nice little Pup, well done!
