Title: Sopwith Pup at San Diego Air and Space Museum
Post by: Pgtaylorart on April 13, 2015, 03:18:12 PM

Hi,
My son and I spent a very nice day down in San Diego visiting the Air and Space Museum today. I've been building my Pup model for the past few months using photos found on the net. Then I realized that the main airplane I've been referring to was right in my own back yard, sort of. So after 3 hour drive, we were shooting photos of my Pup! :D

And here is a sampling:

Sort of a "duh" moment was it...right there down the Coast just waiting for you to realize it was there waiting for you!

Man, this is keen! I really look forward to seeing the rest of your amazing build come together.

Cheers

George,
    Great photos! Since the Pup was my very first foray into 1:32 I've been considering picking up another, Thanks for more or less tipping me over the proverbial edge with this wonderful detail! ???
Cheers,
Lance
