Captured Sopwith Triplane ( Roden KIT)

[miamiangler]

Well I started this build on the LSP site and really  been busy at work . Too many project and no time ! I am trying to get the PC 10 or PC12 correct or at least close to what the color should  be . Here are the two colors sprayed on the test fuselage . In sunlight and shade .






 I would like feed back ,Yes or no , I`m using water based paint .

                                                                      Thanks ,

                                                                                       Willi

  Willi,
As a matter of personal taste I'd go with the Brown Bread PC10. Maybe it's just me but I get tired of drab greenish RFC/RNAS aircraft. The best of luck with this project my friend.
Highest Regards,

I personally prefer the greener shades of PC10 rather than the browner PC12, but that's just personal taste.

Im a PC10 kinda guy but if thats the route you go I would actually throw some of that PC12 sample in you PC10 mix. Just a bit.

Thanks for your response , I would like to know if the Brown color looks correct. if not does it have to go darker or lighter .
  I have been using Des build log for my Sopwith Tripe . so I wont go into too much detail on what I have done so Far. the main change is that I replaced to fuselage that is 6mm too short with the resin one from Brian Fawcett Models and Patterns . Here`s a few photo`s of what I have done so far.





















That`s all for now ,

Nice!  The instrument panel is brilliant, as is the rest of the cockpit.  Good decision, going with Brian's fuselage, Willi.  It'll make a world of difference in the way she sits.
Cheers,

Willi, It is amazing how little of a difference there is between WNW and Roden when a modeler of your caliber takes on a kit! As Bud said, beautiful work on the interior and panel!

Willi, that's excellent work on the interior.  Sorry, I can't help with PC10/PC12, as I'm still learning this stuff myself.  But have a look at Rick's build (http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=1777.45)- he's got a nice looking PC12 that he mixed using Humbrol paints.

I agree with the others Willi, excellent work getting the interior done and all close off nicely

Fine work on the interior, indeed. Looking forward to see it unveil.
As for PC10 I would opt for brown side. However, your shades look to little chocolate-ish. Especially the shadow-shot reveals a too pale shade. I will be soon passing your steps with adjusting brown PC10 to the Tripe model so I am very interested in your results!

Hello Willi:

I agree with Prez, maybe add a little red and a little green to it, to take the "chocolaty flavor" out of it.  Your interior is marevelous.  Looking forward to seeing you progress.

Best

Thank you for all the comments,

     I closed up the cockpit and gave the top of the cockpit a natural wood finish . Here`s the PC10 I came up with ? What do you think ? Too dark or should it be a little lighter.




I did some more work on the wing struts .





Here`s the tail skid and rudder



 Here`s what I have done on the bottom of the wings using some of the tips from this forum .





Next I am working on the landing gear struts and wheels .


     More to come soon.

                                                  Thanks ,

Thanks Steve ,

  I trying my best with this build . just takes more work to make it look like the WNW`s kit.
I`m glad you like the wood work ,that`s my favorate part of building WW1 aircraft.

                                                                                                                        Thanks Willi

Willi,
Looks outstanding! Your PC 10 looks great. You are indeed making this kit look as good as a WNW kit.
