Here's William Barker's Sopwith Snipe  - Eastern Express 1/72.

Only my second attempt with an airbrush - but no tricky patterns!

Awesome build Will! Your airbrushed finish looks great as does the rigging!

1/72? Liar!  ;D That's a stunning Snipe Will! I honestly thought it was 1/48 or bigger.

 Great looking Snipe.  How difficult was this build for you? Any issues?

The kit went together pretty easily - no major issues at all.  The Eastern Express kits are actually pretty good (and cheap!).

You sure you haven't invented the incredible shrinking machine?  :o
Super build.

Lovely job! I have a soft spot for the Snipe and have this kit in the stash. Any tips for building it?

Cheers,
