Revell 1/72 Sopwith Triplane

Your PC12 looks perfect to me and your weathering is gorgeous, as usual, Brad.  She's gonna be a stunner.

Can't say it any better than Bud! I will add that it Looks like a WNW kit instead of the OLD Revelle Tripe!!

Gorgeous paint work, Brad!  I think your choice of colours is spot on.  You
have a stunner in the works, my friend.  Well done!

Thanks folks for the very kind replies!  Lance - the PC-12 mix is very straight forward - Tamiya XF-10 Flat Brown (which is quite a 'red' brown to start with), with a couple of drops of Tamiya XF-51 Khaki Drab just to mute it down a little bit. Fairly simple 

Thanks again!

Simply superb Brad. It's 1/72 modeling in its best.

The PC12 looks quite on the spot imho and the shading it's perfect, makes the model to seem a bigger scale.

Thank You Kind Sir. I'll probably increase the khaki Drab amount but will use this for my Tripe. In fact I've got a large jar of a 50/50 mix which I read somewhere was a great mix for PC10. It's still in the jar as it's far too brown for a PC10 IMHO. I may just use that..................

impressive to say the least. i got one of these kits years back before roden and wnw had released theres and the eduard wasnt easily available. when i got it home and opened the box i was very disapointed. maybe because i never do 1/72 but mainly it looked as if the parts were warped and chewed on by a small dog. this is the classic silk purse from a sows ear. i dont think this kit could be made to look any better than the lovely job brad has done.

Thanks for the kind words again guys - well it didn't take too much, a few hours or so yesterday and a couple this morning, and she is done    The wing alignment was still a pain, even though I did try to make it easier for myself.  The alignment isn't perfect, and it's a bit of a trade off in a few areas.  There was almost a 'bin' moment when a couple of struts went "crack" as I tried to manipulate the alignment, but I was too far invested at that point to turn back.....!

Hard to believe that she's 1/72 scale, Brad.  Looks like a finished WNW model to me.  Brilliant work, mate.  Congratulations.
Cheers,
