Sopwith Batboat. Joystick vaccuform 1/72

I built this one back in 2014!  The rigging is mostly.03 invisible thread and stretched sprue. No build link provided because the pictures are not available from Photobucket any longer.





















Thanks for looking in!

Yet another excellent model of a great subject. You must have one hell of a display cabinet.

I am a sucker for very early types and flying boats, so this is a real treat to see. Not a subject which is seen very often and certainly not to this standard.
