I'm submitting WNW's Sopwith Triplane for the Des Memorial Group build.
I will attempt to make a half decent representation of Collishaw's bird. Can I do it it within the 6 month time frame? It won't be for lack of trying!

Pictures to come.

Great choice von Tripe Cobbler! Another of my personal Kit favorites. I did it up in his Black Maria twin gun version, N533 and have a second Kit under lock and key in the Stash for another day. I'm really looking forward to seeing you apply your magic to this beauty!
Cheers,
Lance

Hello Men!
Thanks for dropping by.

I may or maynot reconstruct a new IP using the spare in the kit.

IP sanded until the instruments fell off

and then placed on veneer.

Cheers,
vB

That veneer panel is a really neat trick von B. I may have to "borrow" that in future.

In the process of sanding I altered my finger print. I couldn't sign into (via fingerprint) my phone for two days

I'm working on the pulsometer at the mo. Stretched some clear sprue for the sight glass, just need to cut 'n shape to fit.

It's good 'ere!

Don't tell that the public authorities, or modelling will be forbidden!

You can add brass pipes to the clear sprue, as I did in 1/48:

Bob,
Great progress to date my old friend. The Tripe Hound has always been my favorite RNAS fighter. The best of luck to you in the GB.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette
