Great start on this, Bud.  I'll be following along as I plan to obtain a Pup in the near future.

Awesome start, Bud. I’m looking forward to following your build. I have a couple of these “puppies” to build myself.
Cheers,
Gary

Thanks so much, my friends!  Sorry I didn't respond to each comment individually, but I've been extraordinarily busy lately and every spare minute has gone into the build.
The Pup is a fairly quick and easy build.  That's why I chose it.
I've got her painted and decals applied.


Started rigging the tail.  I should have her finished by the weekend.


Cheers,
Bud

Thanks, Amigo!

As I said, this is a simple kit and the cockpit's already finished.  Just about to close it up inside the fuselage.









Cheers,
Bud

I like the cockpit, nice and tidy.

Thanks, Ryan!  It's Humbrol 155, one of the WNW call outs for the Gnome Pup.
Cheers,
Bud

Looks great Bud, you beat Wingnut Wings to their new release.  Really like how she is progressing.

Wonderful work, Bud. The seatbelt looks great, the interior is very nice and the cowling looks superb.

Looks very nice, Bud.  Did you have any problem areas with the kit?  One person reported problems with the fit of the bottom wing to the fuse and a sizable gap there.  Maybe it was his doing?
