Well Squiffy, as far as I am concerned you played quite nicely with the big boys! Your Pup is very well done and shows you are talented in any scale!

Thanks for the comments about the WNW Pup, chaps. The Tripe is no longer available, so I won't be doing one of those now.

Anyway... back to my preferred scale. Airfix Handley Page O/400 of 207 Squadron, Royal Air Force.

Being so large it was difficult to photograph but I think these shots are acceptable.

Congratulations on the one. I see that you managed to get the wing dihedral correct which is a major exercise in itself. This is actually a good kit for its age and one which fills an otherwise large gap in large RAF/RFC/RNAS machines.

A very accomplished piece of work, Squiffy. I've really enjoyed following your build of this old-timer. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Best wishes

Squiffy,
           I think you've done a fantastic job!  I don't have this kit, but watching you build it, you make it look easy as others have said. You've made me want to get one, LOL!

Mine gave me some troubles. You mastered your build! My skills aren't as good as yours, but to give myself an excuse I jumped into
 it fairly early in my foray into biplanes. :)
What's next?

Very nice models!
My top favorite is the Ruston-Proctor 1000th Camel! Absolutely pretty colour sheme!

You have gathered a lovely collection here. But that last Behemot is a real stunner. Impressive!

I've just gone through your whole thread and looked at your collection as a whole and I have to say wow! Impressive modeling, especially for 1/72, and even more impressive considering the speed at which you build these. That's definitely a plus with the smaller scales. You can actually finish a model in good time, unlike 1/32 which shows every stitch and turnbuckle.

I have a couple of 1/72 kits floating around. Maybe I should build them just to feel like I've actually finished something for a change.  ;D
