my next bash will be the sopwith pup, the plan is to build the plane on the box - i like the red cowl and the sopwith logo on the tail.

i have also got the hgw detail set for the kit and am keen to have a go at the wood grain decal you get with this set.

anyhow lets see how it goes.

thanks for looking

Good luck on you Pup build, Michael -

I'll be interested to see how this builds up and any potential pitfalls - I nearly ordered one from WNW last time.

Regards

Dave

Excellent choice Michael! That's the RNAS version I plan to do eventually, in honor of my mother, Betty. I'll be watching your build with great interest! Enjoy!

Regards,

Bob

Michael,
Great choice, still the most enjoyable build I've ever done. I'm sure you will really enjoy this one, great subject, wonderful fit, and a pleasure to work on.
Cheers,
Lance

I have to agree with Lance on this one. One of the most enjoyable builds I have done to date. Everything fit perfectly, smooth construction, just a neat looking airplane. I will be watching this unfold as well.

Best

Mark

Yep, I got a Pup. Yep, I like the red cowling. Yep, I'd like to do it for a special Betty that's no longer with us.

So Michael, Steve, I'll let you guys go first and document your build in excruciating detail, if that's okay with you.

Looks like Des is running a Puppy mill here!

Maybe when all the pups are done Des can sponsor a "Pose Down"; with a special unbiased referee from WNW, reporting only to the championship committee to see which one is a true "Poser".

There could even be a cage match with all the Biffs against the pups, winner takes all. I digress. Too much professional wrestling growing up.
