Title: WNW Sopwith Snipe (Early) Captain Thomas Baker 4 squadron AFC
Post by: modelmaker on June 09, 2013, 08:16:26 PM
Hi Fellas,
Just completed this build of WNW Sopwith Snipe (Early) It's been good to do an Australian Flying Corps subject but now it's time to bust the WNW Eindeker box open and have a crack at that!!

Not being a large scale model maker I am extremely impressed by the amount of very fine detail that you guys get into your models. Very impressed by the oil stains under the wing and the markings on the tyres. WNW kits really are the bees knees when it comes to WW1 aircraft - just wish we had the equivalent in God's Own Scale. Excellent build - very many congratulations

Very, very nice Snipe! As Des mentioned, it's good to see her done in AFC markings too. You have me itching to get at my kit now.

Cheers,

It is surely a fine model. The second photo proves it. Very convincing stains on the under side!
But is it just me seeing the remaining photos too dark to be able to admire this build in its entirety?

Yep, that's a great model Sean; excellent job with the paint work.  I look forward to shooting seeing your Eindecker soon.  Did you use the same grey paint over all of the aircraft?  The engine cowling is just lovely, rather like the reflection of light in the photo.

Regards
Steven

p.s.  How's Captain Carpo going with his Snipe?  Don't tell him I haven't started my Eindecker yet.

Hi Sean,
Yes I got the large photo's - it really is a lovely model and the large photo's didn't reveal anything nasty!
Mine is about 1/2 done now. Should be done by Christmas!
Cheers,
Carpo

Perfect model!

I did like your weathering very much and the overall look of the model.

Fabulastic!
