Title: Sopwith 1&1/2 Strutter. 1/72 Toko
Post by: Tim Mixon on October 07, 2022, 03:52:09 AM: This one is pretty much straight OOB. Only additions I remember are the Edward Nieuport gun ring. Very nice little kit.

No. The Toko kit doesn’t have any resin or photo etch details. Nor does it have the bomber variant options. It’s still a very nice kit though.

Lol. No sir. I’m new to this site so these are mostly older builds I am sharing. Anything current is being posted on the under construction post first. Thanks

I know - that one was among the top results when I posted the link. Seems like someone just bought the last copy!

One of my top favorites. It epitomizes what I think of as a WWI Biplane. You've done quite the job on it. That kit is not the easiest. I remember the interplane and cabene struts at different heights causing much fiddling to get the top wing to touch all of them straight and level. You managed it beautifully. Very nice result.

That's the thing - it's great to see all the older models, then some of us wonder why the new ones take so long ;)

Post by: Allan31 on October 19, 2022, 02:02:36 PM: Nice job on the Strutter Tim.
I just got the Roden in 1/48 scale. Mine is twice as big but will be half as good.
You're pretty good at this bub.......
