Valom Sopwith Pup... 1/144
« on: March 28, 2013, 04:55:16 AM »
Hallo fellows,
I know most of you are fond of 1/32 models, I also know I am cursing my DH2 in a 72nd scale... but I saw this kit:

announced a few weeks ago on Aeroscale by Rowan...
http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=203490

Any idea of the box contents and the quality of the kit?

Ciao

Antonio

It comes in a box about the size of a matchbox  :) :)

Antonio, how close are you to the Large Hadron Collider? I think the Higgs Boson is about the size of a 1:144 Pup, so if you can run up there for the weekend they may be able to help you out with some of the fiddly bits.

The air force will always need technicians because pilots need heroes too.

Vaclav from Valom models has informed me that the next 1:144 scale kit to be released will be the Fokker D.VIIb, he said there will be some improvements especially assembly of the wings. Maybe this will be the start of a collection of WW1 planes in this small scale.

Great Des,
I look forward to reading it!
I think I'll buy both the Pup and the DVII together, any plans for future releases as far as you know?
