Aces Mounts 2025 GB - Sopwith Triplane - R. Collishaw (1/32, Wingnut Wings)

[PrzemoL]

My effort on the unforgettable Wingnut Wings kit... Actually it is my 2nd WNW Triplane and 36th WNW model built. This time the famous two-gun N533 flown in 10 RNAS Sqn, July 1917 by Raymond Collishaw - the ace with 60 confirmed victories in WW1.

The model has the replaced Clerget engine - the spectacular Taurus Models resin, which has twice as many elements than the remaining kit. Rigging was done with self-made eyelets, 0.12 fishing line and polyimide tubes. Otherwise - out of the box.

Superb, just superb Prez. The engine looks very fine as does the rigging. I wonder if the extra weight of the second gun affected the performance of the machine.

As ever another inspiring build. Well done PrzemoL.

That's a stunning build all round Przemo, beautiful construction, wonderful finishing and very nice weathering. That engine is amazing, both the kit and the way you finished it. It's a pity we can't see more of it!

Definitely one of the finest builds of this WnW kit that I?ve seen, Prze. Well done indeed. Apologies for my late response as I?m trying desperately to catch up on the forum posts of late. Your build log is also fantastic reference!
Cheers,
Gary

Thank you for your kind comments!

Stephen.

Apparently it did. That is probably why only 6 examples were armed like this.

Beautiful job Prze,
Colors are spot on, I love the attention to detail. I hope I can achieve the same kind of fidelity to my Eduard 1/48.

More great work from your stable, Prez -

Simply wonderful.

Beautiful Tripe and the shading is top notch - not easy on these darker PC schemes.
