Good humor:
On a more serious note. As long as Roden is making the Sopwith Triplane, now with WNW out of the picture save through aftermarket and on line auctions, it might behoove Rowan at Pheon in concert with Brian Fawcett to start production on their resin fuselages specifically made for the Roden Kit. I don't recall posting photo's of my completed Roden Sopwith Triplane with the Brian Fawcett Fuselage and Pheon Decals. It builds into a nice model as evidenced by the images below.
First image is the undersides showing the shading to highlight the ribbing and add depth to the "Fabric".
In the images below, you can see the difference in length of the Roden Fuselage compared with the Brian Fawcett Resin Fuselage.
In the image below you can see the sub assemblies are ready to be buttoned up
The finished model using the Pheon Decals for the Sopwith Triplane, I chose the "Maud" scheme as I saw Bud Pearson's build and thought it was neat.
The decals offered by Pheon at that time:
And fun factor of this model was definitely pegged to the right of zero.
So, if Rowan or Brian are watching this site and seeing this post, it would be neat if you could start making the fuselage again. As it sits, the kit builds into a nice model of the Sopwith Tripe.
