Hello my friends,
Now that the Sopwith Triplane is nestled in the display case it's time for the next chapter in plastic tickling.
I give you!



Cheers

Oh Bob, that will be a project to follow!

Which livery will you give her?
As result of the group build I was able to select two set of Pheon decals, and one was a 1/48 set for the Pfalz D.XII 8) Very nice schemes!

Cheers,
Frank

Hi Frank,
 I'm not sure of the livery just yet. I may go with a stock paint job or go with one of Pheon's Decals ...If I can find them!
We will see!

Anyway, I can't start yet because I'm snowed in with orders.  :o When I find a calm moment sidecutters will be slicing sprue  8)

Cheers for all the well wishes  :)

Now I have a dilemma. Do I put in an order for more of your wonderful wares or hold off so you can get started that much sooner on you Pfalz. If only I could keep the carpet monster from eating the wee tube they would last longer.

Don't you worry about that, Albert - It's what I do! Community before modelling. If you need anything just let me know. If I'm busy I will just let you know the waiting time, which at the moment is 3 to 4 days. Which isn't that unusual. I've had times when a 2 week waiting time was common, but thankfully those times are behind me. I'm happy with my current flow ;-)

Cheers!

I found a window of calm...

Parts for the cockpit and engine bay removed from sprue gate, de-nubbed, scrubbed and polished.
More to go!

BTW.
I'm drawn to the XII in Belgium markings. Plenty of variation and something different. We like that!
