Sopwith Pup „Betty“, April 1917 (WNW, 1:32)
« on: June 05, 2020, 06:49:05 AM »
Finally I finished that one. Great kit, awesome figures from Copper State Models (also the ladder is from them, although I had to change the RFC head of the mechanic for a more „Naval“ looking one from Hornet) Wing Cockpit and Kellerkind (who also offers the fuel cans). I enjoyed every minute of this build, maybe this made it so difficult for me to end this project finally. First time that I played around with micro engines and batteries. Won‘t be the last time.
I hope you like it.

Best regards,

Beautiful Pup in all aspects! The figures and seen really set the model off completely! Outstanding!

That is a beautiful model Andreas.  Your figures are particularly well-painted and really make the scene.  I love the spinning prop!  Great vignette.

Best rewgards,

Andreas I am frequently lost for words to give praise for your models. This is no exception - everything about it is exceptional and of a standard of which I can only dream. The figures are so realistic (especially the naval type holding his hat in the slipstream), and although I sometimes regard spinning props as a gimmick, that is decidely not so in this case.

Many congratulations on a brilliant build and mini diorama.

Stephen.
