Bob, I've never been all that keen on modeling fighters as trainers, but this is undoubtedly my favorite Pup scheme.  My wife's, too.
Cheers,
Bud

I felt the same way about trainers Bud, and it was only my daughters request that led me to do this scheme.  Boy has my attitude changed after building this Pup, and I am very grateful to my daughter. ;D

I'm glad your wife likes it too! :)

Regards,

Bob

Hello Bob,

Love the Pup! I had such fun doing this decal selection and it's great to see the likes of you, mgunns and Dr.Dave making my two dimensional stuff come to life in these super models - it makes everything so worthwhile.

Bud, I think that it is fair to say that this Pup may not have been "just" a trainer; it had full night-flying gear and armament, including the Neame illuminated sight, and could well have been used in a secondary operational role, flown by an instructor.

Huh.  Well, I still like her, no matter how nasty you say she was.

Hello Bob:

I have this sheet as well, and your's will be a log that I follow as I do mine.  This really turned out sweet and as Rowan mentioned, it is nice to see it in 3-D.  Outstanding workmanship all around.

Best

I love this! I never gave the pup a second thought until I saw these photos! Are the little stars painted on or is this from a decal sheet?

Hi Ss!  The stars are all individual decals, which were relatively easy to apply.  You can read about it under the same heading over in the "Under Construction" section.  You'll want to get Pheon Models Sopwith Pup Pets & Trainers decal sheet.  You can check that out and order over in the Pheon store in the "Hobby Shop" section of the forum.  This decal sheet is fabulous, but beware---once you've seen it you may end up building multiple Pups! ;)  Enjoy!  I'm glad you liked my Night Trainer Pup. :)

Regards,

Bob
