Sopwith Triplane 1/48, Upd 16.8.2020 Finale and a riddle again!

[RichieW]

Great rigging Frank, I'm so looking forward to seeing the finished model. This has been one of my favourite build threads so far.

Was wondering if you could use the photograph of the Clayton and Shuttleworth logo to print decals. I've never done anything like that myself so I may be talking rubbish.

Wow Thank you!

I have clear and white decal paper for Laser, but my color laser is in trouble. It crashes if I try to print in color (have to switch off), but b/w still works perfectly. I tried once to print a airscrew logo on clear paper, but it was not really nice. 1/48 is really small. In this specific case it may work on white decal paper.


You can speed up the build of this triplane if you wear the right shoes!

Like Rick said, all I see is a magnificent Triplane. Bravo Frank, what a great job!

[Early Bird Fan]

error or not (and no, i can't see the error) it looks absolutely fantastic

[macsporran]

Nice model, Frank. I can't see any errors ( and I've built a few Tripehounds.)

I don't know if this is the error you are referring to, but I would have painted the underside of the wings differently.

That is a superb model Frank. I wonder how many people will actually notice the error which you have pointed out? I'll bet that there will not be many - the, like me, will be too busy admiring all the super details that you have added to be unduly worried about that!!

That mistake is hiding in plain view.  How many have not noticed?  Me for one!

[Bughunter]

Stephen and Ken, thank you for your comforting words!
The mistake is annoying nevertheless.

Lucky in misfortune that it happened on the lower wing. At the top wing the control wires come out directly behind the pulleys, it would have been harder to hide there.
On the lower wing, the pulleys are on top and the control wires below, so it's not so obvious

Cheers,
Frank
