Please do - WNW engines are ideal for scratchbuilds and engine swaps, propellers, wheels and cockpit parts are always handy as are left over odds and ends of decals

I shall await the next time you turn green and split your shirt, Bob Banner...

And condolences on the loss of your Pup

Damn! There is Way too much of this sort of thing lately. Sorry to hear you lost your Pup Bob! You should have saved the upper wing to mate with a Roden Triplane to create a Sopwith Mouse  8)

It is a pity to hear of your problem with Puppie, Bob. And what a shame to hear you binned it... There are many who would get the plastic you threw away and would try to repair it... Pity, pity...

I'm with you Bob!

I try and keep my cool but...sometimes you just gotta throw something! I have a stone wall in my basement that serves as a crash site.  ;)

Commiserations Bob...
.... but I must say, hee-hee, you are living up to your namesake:

I feel your pain there Bob, been there, done that way too many times of late.

Two Wingnut kits were started then crashed and burned- Pfalz D.XII and Sopwith Camel. Both were en route to the rubbish bin when I paused and realised, at what these cost to replace, think before you bin, David.... so both are in the big filing box of eternal shame on a shelf and already crash/ repair depot dioramas are envisaged.

One day they may even return in a new guise...

cheers and keep modelling

Sorry to see this Bob, it was all looking so promising too. Over the last few years I think I've junked more kits than I've finished. Keep on keeping on though. Looking forward to seeing the tank come together.
