Oh yes Rick and all the voters - that was a direct hit! The next project should be a Sopwith Triplane!
Thank you all!
What materials did you use Frank?
Don't know what it is Frank but I sure would (wood!) like to know which wood it is!
Brad and Stephen, this should be pear. May be it is swiss pear, also known in german as 'Elsbeere', which my dictionary translates to 'service tree'.
After a discussion with Stephen about my Albatros Dr.I and Triplanes in general, and Andreas/Borsos with question about PC12 and his Pup, some Triplane build here and more forced me to put the Sopwith Triplane from Eduard in 1/48 near to the bench!
I want to finish running things first, but some planning can be done already and that was the reason, why I showed this wood work already.
Some time ago I bought the kit in used condition, but it looks like it was not stored very dry, so the decals are no more usable. The kit is 8077. Additionally I own the AeroMaster decal set Triplanes Part 2.
BUT: both do not allow the N533 '
BLACK MARIA' which I would prefer.
I know, it is often built, but the black cowling, wheels and fin with PC12 would be a nice variation in the cabinet.
I can mask the "C"s, but this little white '
BLACK MARIA' is to small for my cutter.
So my question:
Does anyone have this white lettering to spare? (2 times, left/right)If I can't do this machine, I have to build another one, but I need to respect this in early state, because the N533 has two Vickers.
Cheers,
Frank
