Title: Sopwith Pup B1803 with Pheon decals, 100 hp Gnome and Brian Fawcett Mono Cowling
Post by: coyotemagic on June 01, 2019, 04:42:34 AM: After the numerous challenges of the WNW Halberstadt, I decided to build something simple before taking on the Biff for the GB. Inspired by the recent WNW announcement of their Gnome Pup, I thought I'd go ahead with a project I've had planned for a couple years.

Post by: coyotemagic on June 01, 2019, 04:49:15 AM: Thanks, Amigo!

As I said, this is a simple kit and the cockpit's already finished. Just about to close it up inside the fuselage.

Post by: coyotemagic on June 19, 2019, 04:15:03 AM: Thanks so much, my friends! Sorry I didn't respond to each comment individually, but I've been extraordinarily busy lately and every spare minute has gone into the build.
The Pup is a fairly quick and easy build. That's why I chose it.
I've got her painted and decals applied.

Started rigging the tail. I should have her finished by the weekend.

Post by: kensar on June 19, 2019, 09:51:00 PM: Looks very nice, Bud. Did you have any problem areas with the kit? One person reported problems with the fit of the bottom wing to the fuse and a sizable gap there. Maybe it was his doing?

Thanks for tagging along!
Cheers,

P.S.- Yes, Ken, the wing to fuselage joint was a problem, but I think with proper planning and test fitting, it'll go together without a hitch. My last Pup was a breeze.

Looking forward to more pictures.
