Sopwith Baby, Calshot Oct. 1917 (1/32, Lukgraph)
« on: March 29, 2020, 06:27:56 AM »
My vision of N-1437 Sopwith Baby delivered to Calshot at the end of September 1917.
Lukgraph resin kit has a lot of good potential but I recommend it to rather experienced modellers. Still, my great thanks to my dear friends from Cracow-based company for making this project possible!

Very nice indeed Prze! I enjoyed following this Build and your efforts certainly have been rewarded. Not an easy Kit as you indicate however you've achieved spectacular results!
Cheers,

I have to say this is one beautiful model indeed. I love the way you have emulated the aluminum finish on the cowlings, and your wooden finish is replicated to perfection. Beautifully displayed and photographed. Amazing work (as always).
Cheers,

Beautifully done Prze!
 I built the old Eduard 1:72 kit and it's good to see you had the same problem I did re getting the water rudder lined up with the rudder post. I couldn't get mine in a straight line either!

That is a mini-masterpiece as has been commented the metallic cowling a wood effect are super. A very interesting and informative build log too.

It is just one of many faults in this model. And yes, I failed in the same point when building my Ed's 72nd scale Baby, too - but there the float rudder axis leans backwards...

Beautiful result, PrzemoL.  The subtle rib shading on the roundels is superb and the cowling is really eye-catching.
