Its blowing a gale and minus 2C here tonight, so no outdoor pics yet. I'll post some more and then I am starting another, using Rowan's new Decals!
Cheers

Very nice build, I'm torn between this scheme and the Russian one for my build its just the lack of weathering on this one that puts me off.
Did you have any issues with the build.
-
Dave - Very, very nice!
I'm currently working through mine at the moment (just completed the cockpit structure) and intend to build the 1924 Hawkinge squadron markings version.
Regards
Dave

Love it!! As much as I love all things WWI the inter war stuff is flashy!! I would build this one too. You did a great job on her. What a sharp looking bird - well ok blunt but sharp!!!!!

I weathered mine to look as it did before being replaced by gamecocks. They are all weathered, just some get cleaned for photos.
The build is remarkably straightforward bar the tail skid and telescopic sight which are fiddly buggers. The decals are great with Microsoft/ sol.
I have broken out the next to do Rowans option 5.
Enjoy it. I'll post better snaps when the sun finally arrives, brrrr.
-
Beautiful work Dave, the colour certainly changes the whole eappearance of the aeroplane. She sure is striking with the red and white on the silver, well done.

What a stupendously gorgeous Snipe, Dave! I'd love to see photos of all of your silver birds together.
Cheers,
Bud

Lovely, lovely Snipe, Dave!
The Snipe was replaced by the Grebe in September 1924 and was the first RAF Squadron to be fully equipped with them. 56 didn't have the Gamecock but 19 (blue/white checks) and 43 (black/white) did - and given the black and white photos of the time it's an easy slip! I'd give some valuable (if time-expired) organs for a Wingnut Wings Grebe or Gamecock..... Looking forward to seeing "Option 5" done to your standard . The stickers should be ready to go out very soon now.
Looks like we're getting your cast-off NE winds in Brittany - snow is forecast for tonight - and I thought we'd escaped the worst of it. That'll teach me! April? Schmapril.

Gamecock grebe schmebe theys all the sames...
I can't wait to get going on another.
Are you still planning M 1 c decals? I'm a bit rigged out....
-
Dave,
She's an Outstanding kite my old friend. Another in a long line of outstanding project beyond a doubt. Keep'em coming Dave.
Highest Regards,

Burn the witch!!!

Still want to do the M1 - most of the work is done I just need to recover some spondooliks from the last batch of printing before sending off any more - or I'll fall foul of the Bodmin debt collectors - fearsome rough buggers they be!
-
You must have started this one as soon as it landed on your doorstep! Nice work on the silver dope finish, what a beauty. Did you encounter any challenges with alignment given the two-bay design? Very inspiring build!
-
Actually no. The wing was easier than the albatros. The whole kit is a generation ahead. The cabane struts and undercarriage have heavy pins to secure them and the wing struts can't be transposed.
-
That is one stunning looking model Dave and a fantastic colour scheme - looking forward to more pics

I absolutely love this one! The very scheme that will make me purchase one of these eventually. Your work is stunning, Love it!!

Cheers all. I'll try to get outside in the sun tomorrow with it for more snaps. I cannot believe this awful weather. A month of windy 4c and snow flurries. Normally I would be planting the veg patch.
What do you all want after the next Snipe?
Pheon Pfalz DIIIA, Albatros DVa? I'm still working through the single seaters. Its always to give Rowan some free advertising, after his sterling efforts.
-
Dave,
Go for the Pfalz my old friend. You're right about Rowan's efforts too,no doubt he appreciates praise as well.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

And here we are . A sunny day at last. You can see I still had trouble with the underseam, but the next will be better....
Cheers
Dave

Lovely bird Dave, your period style photo's are effective, was that with photoshop?
Andrew

Great pictures.
the last few b/w ones look like real period photos of a real plane !
michael

Cheers fellas. There is a Japanese web page you'll upload on to and it renders the photo old, then you download it

Very nice example of silver wings. Truly, these colours do have something appealing. Congratulations, DrDave!
-
Hello Dr. Dave:
Very nice. I like the scheme and the post WWI schemes, both sides of the pond. I know what you mean about those peskey underfuselage seams. The build turned out great, and the pics are neat as well.
Looking forward to the next.
Best
Mark

Brilliant! I love silver wings almost as much as I like yellow wings.
