Sopwith Schneider, 1/48, Special Hobby
« on: January 03, 2016, 01:18:11 AM »
Hi,

I started this kit. I want to be the version that won the race Schneider in 1914.

I started conventionally with the cockpit:







A bientôt!

That's a nice start on a fairly rare model.

Beautiful work! The wood tones, fabric, and bracing wires give a terrific contrast to the interior colors!

Your progress looks really good but I have one question - why have you painted the seat gloss black?
What was it made of in the original plane?
Best regards

Des, Moustique, RAGIII, Martin, Xmald: Thank you, gentlemen!

Hello,

the seat is not painted, I'm sorry, this is the picture. In the real aircraft, I think it is aluminum. But I'm not sure. And I do not know if there were seat belts  :-\.

A bientôt

Arnaud
