Title: WNW 1/32 Sopwith Snipe Early, 208 Sqn, November 1918
Post by: TomR1981 on May 19, 2014, 10:27:48 PM
The first Wingnut Wings kit I've gotten finished and easily the best kit I've ever built.
This was a joy to build.

Tom,
    Repeating myself a bit from the Under Construction Thread; absolutely stunning! You've done it all with this one; detail, perfect weathering and wear (just enough to compliment the "Clean" finish) and just a beautiful Build all round.
    Congratulations on a very fine Model!
Cheers,
Lance

This is a lovely piece of work Tom and you have every right to be pleased with it. Well done!

On the downside, you might need to get a coat of creosote on the garden fence. Does any proprietary brand do anything reassembling PC12?

Best wishes, with tongue in cheek
Nigel

Drop dead gorgeous, Tom!  If mine turns out half as fine, I'll be chuffed beyond words.  Your turned metal rendering is brilliant.
Cheers,
Bud

Tom,

A joy for you to build and joy for me to look at.   Stunning job on your Snipe, mate.

Tom it's lovely
Do yourself and us a favour  so we can see it better. Get a cheap roll of lining wallpaper and  unfurl  4 feet without creases, put it on a chair and photograph it on that. You'll be  amazed.

Shes absolutely gorgeous. Wish I could come close to that kind of finish.

Well, I don't think I can say it any better than my Amigo Bud. I will only add that you have certainly given me ideas as I work on mine. If half as good as yours in the end, I will be HAPPY!

Nigel, are you sure PC12 is accurate for this fence? Maybe we could go with an early war fence in PC8.

Dave, this is something I've been meaning to do. I think I need to read up a bit on photography too. I love that Arado by the way.

Cheers.

Holy Hannah!  That is a sweet Sopwith...I really like the fabric color.  Mine always turn out too green and now I see what they are supposed to look like.

Thanks for posting this awesome model, Tom.

Respectful Regards,
Dan
