Now Finished, My first WNW build: Sopwith Triplane
« on: December 09, 2014, 10:19:13 AM »
Although I rushed this one in the end to get her finished for our local model show in Sacramento, she took first in "Biplanes, all scales".  Biplanes? ???  Lot's of warts (NEVER rush a build), but I'm pleased with her non the less.

















Thanks for looking in, folks!
Cheers,
Bud

Bud,
Enjoyed following your Dual Build and am looking forward to Little Sister being finished! As for this one what a Beauty! Well deserved win in that "Biplane" category ! Lovely work all around from the interior, painting and weathering, to the rigging!

Very nice Bud. I like the aileron tilt, adds a great touch to the finished kit. Cowl is interesting too. How'd you get there?

Warts? Can't see none from where I'm sitting mate ;D. Fantastic job!
 You've got the turned metal on the cowling nailed Bud
Congratulations on a well deserved win, (you don't think the extra wing gave you an unfair advantage, do you?  ;))

Cheers,
Tony.

Hello Bud,

Many congratulations for your winner! It was probably in the "All wings, all scales" section? But seriously what a teriffic build and log this was. The painting (your cowling is superb), the decals and rigging. I can't see no warts eighter in this wonderful build my friend. Well done!

Kind regards
Patrick

Bud, I agree with Tony...what warts?  All I see is an amazingly
beautiful Tripe, completely deserving of the honours received!
Well done, my friend.  I am looking forward to your next project. :D

Cheers,
