Just a wee break from the FK8. Still need to rig the cockpit and add some plumbing and wiring.

Looking pretty darned good so far!
-
If I compare the parts with my latest finished model I guess this will be a biplane called Pup some day ...
Nice start!

That's what I'm hoping for, Frank, unless it all goes south on me. This is what I'm striving for.

Wow, interesting colors!
Because of this unusual colors of those biplanes I have started to build this model category.
Have fun,

Great start and beautiful selection of markings.

Is that one of the training school schemes?
Richard

Wonderful start Bud. This is going to be another of your gems.
Stephen.

My goodness, what an amazing start! I will be following with interest.
-
Thanks, Juan, Stephen and AD! Richard, this Pup was with 189 (Night) Training Squadron, Suttons Farm 1918.
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks Bud, the really colourful ones were usually trainers. That one is a beauty
Richard
-
Hey Bud, what a nice start. But it's the wrong scale, isn't it? ;)
Andreas
-
Terrific start Amigo! Looking great and the scheme should be awesome when complete!
RAGIII
-
Nice start Bud. Internals seem to share with the Camel, characteristically Sopwith...?
Very interesting scheme... night fighting training... I hadn't realised it was that organised. Thought they just took good day fighting pilots and fed them up with carrots...?
Is this a Pheon sheet scheme?
Matt

As far as I know, there is only one photo of this pretty little kite, and it's very poor quality.
(http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af342/coyotemagic_photos/Copper%20State%20FK8%20mid%20production/WNW%20Sopwith%20Pup%20Night%20Fighter/2165e8f4-c00a-47a4-b2fd-343e12349b2b_zpschltdnem.png)
Although this photo is on page 7 of Data File 2, I pulled this one off the Rise of Flight forum. It appears in a few other places on the internet, so I'm pretty sure I'm not violating any copyright laws here.

Hey Bud, what a nice start. But it's the wrong scale, isn't it? ;)

Thanks, Andreas! Shhhh. Don't tell the 1/32 scale guys, but this is what I do when I want something easy.

Thanks, Amigo! Those wee little stars should be fun to apply.
Cheers,

-
Thanks, Matt! Yup, it's the Pheon sheet. Deviant that I am, I'll be deviating slightly from the scheme as laid out by Pheon. Inspired by the night fighting Fees, I'll be doing the top wing in PC12.
Cheers,
Bud

Regarding Night Fighter Training, Matt, I suspect it wasn't "fighting training" per se; rather basic Night Flying Training as flight in the dark at that time was just in the inception phase. Looking at the instrument panels of these aircraft and the "bare bones" nature of the instruments available I shudder when I think of them flying in the dark, and more so in less then optimum visual flight conditions! They often write of penetrating thick layers of cloud or even scooting into it to shake off a pursuer...... brave fellows indeed!
Cheers,
Lance
-
You're so right, Lance. Considering powered flight was less than 11 years old when the first combat aircraft took to the air, all of these very young men were ballsy indeed. Most of these "night fighter trainers" were actively engaged in home defense. This aircraft, in this colorful scheme, was also with 39 and 44 Squadrons in the HD roll.
I've got the fuselage all closed up and will have some paint on her soon.

Looking good Bud, cannot wait for the stars to come out. ;)

Bud, thats damn good progress!
Really pitty to hide the nice cockpit details by closing the fuselage ::)
Cheers,
Frank
-
Great progress, Bud, and one of my favorite Kits! The scheme you've chosen is a real beauty, that Pheon Sheet offers just no end of spectacular schemes. For a "L'il sumpin on the side" this is pretty impressive! I know I'll enjoy following your progress on this little gem.
Cheers,
Lance
-
Bud, I found this great picture of one of these aircraft during one of its night flying training missions, as you can see the camouflage is very effective :) :) ;) ;) :)

Excellent progress Bud! Looks like this one will be flying in no time at all!

A great looking build, Bud, with a very interesting colour scheme! Well done, I can't wait to see more! Regards, Marc

Thanks, gents!
You're right about that Pheon sheet, Lance. I'm tempted to do another in the Union Jack scheme.
Des, I think I can spot it just low and left of center! ;)
Pre-shaded the undersides.

Now to paint the CDL, mask it off and pre-shade the top.
Cheers,
Bud

Pre-shaded the upper surfaces and painted.

Just beautifull, Bud. A real eyecatcher with the blue on, even without the stars!
Andreas
-
Thanks, Andreas! That's actually NATO black. The natural lighting in this room makes it look blue. I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it.
Cheers,
Bud
-
I'd never, ever have guessed that was NATO Black! Wow!

Moon and stars are out! Not as tedious as I thought it would be. Easier than lozenge rib tapes.

Still lots of detail painting, touch up and weathering to do before the top wing goes on.
Cheers,

That is just simply OUTSTANDING Amigo! Beautiful work!

Lookin Good Bud:
I did the Union Jack Scheme a while back, still one of my favorites. This is a cool scheme and it is coming along nicely. Looking forwad to seeing you weather the beastie.
-
Wonderful! It's looking cute, I should decorate the room of my kids in that sheme :)
Andreas
-
Great to see the stars out.
-
Thank you, my friends!
I did the Union Jack Scheme a while back, still one of my favorites.
I remember that one, Mark! What a beauty she is. I have those decals and I'm considering doing that one with the remaining Pup I have in my stash. By the way, it's great to see you back on the forum.
Cheers,
Bud
-
Nice work on this lovely Pup, Bud. Looking forward to see more.
-
Thanks Bud:
I like the OD upper wing. Sets it off nicely.
-
Hi Bud where did you get those stars decals?
Great work so far! Beautiful scheme you chose?
I got very curious about the Union Jack scheme Mark mgunns was talking about, is it possible to view that scheme somewhere?
Thanks
Antonio
-
Hello Andonio64: Here you go: I did this when PHEON first released the decal, the stars and moon are on the same sheet. Decals went on very nicely and as you can see a very strking scheme The decal is still available from PHEON at http://www.pheondecals.com/-32015-sopwith-pup-trainers-and-pets.html

Now that the F.K.8 is finished, it's time to shift my focus back to this one and wrap it up.
Building her pretty much oob, I chose to use the kit engine (is there even an after market Le Rhone?). Looking at the photos, it looks kinda clunky compared to many of the resin engines that are available in 1/48 scale. I can live with it. After all, the cowling covers most of it.
(http://i1022.photobucket.com/albums/af342/coyotemagic_photos/Copper%20State%20FK8%20mid%20production/WNW%20Sopwith%20Pup%20Night%20Fighter/2017-09-06%2019.23.17_zpsu9xdmz7e.jpg)

Cheers,
Bud
-
I am not sure how I have missed this Bud so I have caught up: this is one of the most striking schemes that I have seen in a long time! The engine looks really good - well up to your usual standard.
With reference to engines I thought that there was a le Rhone in 1/48 by Small Stuff. Not sure - need to check. I certainly have one in 1/72 and used one on the Caudron G IV.
Stephen.

Of course there is one of this great engines - can't livebuild a model without them ;)
Cheers,
Frank
-
Thanks, Stephen and Frank! Oh, yeah, I'm well aware of Small Stuff's superb 1/48 scale engines. I have several in my stash. I just wasn't sure if there was a Le Rhone in 1/32 scale. Not that it matters, as I wanted to build this as oob as possible. The only additions will be nav lights and Holt flare brackets and they're WNW parts anyway.
Cheers,
Bud
-
Outstanding engine work Amigo! Looks very convincing to me!
RAGIII
-
Thanks, Amigo! I always appreciate your support.
Cheers,
Bud

looking good! I like the roughed-up look of the front cover, makes it look like an engine that's seen a lot of use!

Graet work and beautiful paint scheme, very attractive the Union Jack as well.
Ciao

beautiful work on the engine - how did you do the spark plug wires?
thanks!

I used 0.1 mm nickel silver rod from Albion Alloys, Dave. Very fine, almost too fine, and relatively rigid.

The kit supplied Vickers is a bit lacking in front end detail, so I decided to use a Gaspatch gun. The problem with that is, I thought I had one in my stash, but apparently don't. Having one sent from Greece would take too long, so again, I went with the kit part. Couldn't bear the thought of looking into the business end and seeing a flat wall so I did some minor surgery.

Not quite up to Gaspatch standards, but close, I think.
Cheers,
Bud
-
Thanks for the information about the albion alloy rod for spark plug wires. The Vickers looks great. I'm not familiar with the gaspatch guns, but with your modification, the kit gun looks awesome - not sure why you would want to upgrade further.
Dave
-
Thanks, Dave. Here is what the Gaspatch Vickers looks like.
http://www.gaspatchmodels.com/products/vickers-british-hyland-type-e-loading-handle-1-32.html
Very realistic looking. I used one on my Tripe.
Cheers,
Bud
-
Hi Bud:
For a kit engine I think it looks pretty darned nice. You got the oily look to it and it will look good sitting in the front end of this bird. The mods on the gun improve it 100% as it adds just that little touch of "detail" that otherwise is lacking and it looks like an easy mod to do. Heck, I may even try it! ;) Looking forward to the next phase.
-
Thanks, Mark! Yeah, the gun mod is easy. It only added 20 minutes to the build.
Cheers,
Bud
-
Thanks, Dave. Here is what the Gaspatch Vickers looks like.

I'm hoping like mad that the Gaspatch guns are as good as that image. As far as I can tell, all the pictures on their site are computer generated. I've just ordered a pair of Alkan-Hamy Vickers and a pair of Darne Lewis guns and I would like to have seen pictures of the actual parts
Richard
-
wow
-
Incredible job Bud, that gun looks amazing with your improvements. Looking forward to your updates.
-
I am extremely impressed by your relatively simple but very effective mod to that Vickers gun. You have changed it completely with such a small mod.
Stephen.
-
Beautiful work on the Vickers Amigo! Really makes a difference!
RAGIII

Thanks, guys!
Richard, the Gaspatch guns are indeed as good as the computer images. If you look at the in package photos, you are looking at the real thing.

Thanks Bud. I've heard good things about them and after trying to modify some of the Eduard Brassin ones decided to give them a go
Looking forward to them arriving
And if they are as good as your modified kit gun, I will be well satisified

I think you'll be quite pleased with them, Richard.

Coming along super nice bud. But then I expected excellence from you old friend
-
So great that one. The way you improved the kit's Vickers is great. I'll copy that idea and it makes a Gaspatch Vickers superfluous for me (better spending my money on Gaspatch Spandaus...). Overall it's a beauty up till now and I am sure it will be even more beautiful when finished.
Andreas
-
Cool look of all the WNW details, together with your build, the nice leather and wood painting and your additions. This will be a nice Sopwith machine at the end!
Cheers,
Frank

Bud that leather coaming looks real! I just do not understand how some of you fellow modellers can achieve such realistic finished for natural materials!
Stephen.
-
Excellent "fix" on the Vickers bud. Looks great!
As does the rest of your Pup. :)

Thanks so much, guys! I apologize for the late response, but the Voss F.I just sort of took over.
I have made some progress. She's now a biplane! Finally!

Looks even better as a Biplane Amigo! I don't remember so... Did the Stars come grouped on a clear backing or were they applied individually?
RAGIII

My o my that really is a dfiferent colour scheme. That model will really stand out in any collection - the more so as it is being made by a master builder.

That's too cool, Bud. Normally I prefer Western front schemes as I only do planes in combat. But this bird simply looks so amazing that I could imagine to change my mind. Simply beautiful!
Andreas

Thank you all for your generous comments!
I don't remember so... Did the Stars come grouped on a clear backing or were they applied individually?
RAGIII
Rick and Ed, the stars are all individual decals, which is actually kinda cool as you can arrange them any way you want. The ones that you can see in the photo of this plane, I placed as close to the original as possible. The remainder were placed in my favorite constellations.
She's nearly finished now. All rigging is completed and all that's left are the Holt flares and nav lights.

She is beautiful Bud. This is one great looking scheme done to perfection.

That is most definitely an eye catching scheme, to put it mildly! Beautifully executed too, it will certainly stand out.

I lovee the scheme. A very clean build.

Nice little Pup! This is a really lovely type of aircraft, like it since my build this year.
You will add lights? Tell me more please!
I've started some month ago the new Eduard 1/48 SE5a and want to build the night fighter from the Royal kit. I'm aware of the Holt flares (have found pictures for that, and Eduard put some PE parts into the kit), but what about the other parts?
Thanks,
Frank

Thank you all for your support and encouragement throughout this project. Your comments were always heart warming and deeply appreciated.
I FINALLY got a break from holiday preparations and recovery, a little time off work and some decent lighting, so some new pictures.

Thanks, Toby! I used a mix of 0.6 Modelkasten and 0.14 mm monofilament.
