Hi Fellas,
Just completed this build of WNW Sopwith Snipe (Early) It's been good to do an Australian Flying Corps subject but now it's time to bust the WNW Eindeker box open and have a crack at that!!

Not being a large scale model maker I am extremely impressed by the amount of very fine detail that you guys get into your models. Very impressed by the oil stains under the wing and the markings on the tyres. WNW kits really are the bees knees when it comes to WW1 aircraft - just wish we had the equivalent in God's Own Scale. Excellent build - very many congratulations

Beautiful work, Sean.  She's absolutely stunning.  The shading and weathering are brilliant.
Cheers,
Bud

Hello Sean:

Great job on the Snipe!  I like the way you did the oils stains on the underside and the shading.  Very nicely done.

Very, very nice Snipe! As Des mentioned, it's good to see her done in AFC markings too. You have me itching to get at my kit now.

Cheers,

Chris
