Sopwith 7F.1 Snipe , Baker's 2 (1/32, Wingnut Wings)
« on: February 01, 2016, 03:46:37 AM »
My vision of Baker's Snipe numbered with "2", which served in Sqn 4 AFC at the very end of WW1.

The great WNW model was enhanced with the amazing Taurus Bentley from Łukasz. RAF style turnbuckle-less rigging made from fishing line, Bob's eyelets and polyimide amber tubes.

Let me be the first (if I'm fast enough typing!) to say....WOW!

What a piece of work!  I'm doing the same kit now in the same scheme and am using yours as help.  LOVE the colors you got on this one and the final display really makes it look real and come alive.

What a lovely finish.  Congrats!

tired of looking at.  Thanks, my friend.

Very very nice, Prze! I know you would have preferred the cowl to be on, but having it off creates a unique presentation that really showcases the Bentley engine beautifully. :)

    Absolutely spectacular Prze! :o Magnificent work from nose to tail, the paint, the weathering, the rigging, all just "top drawer"........... and then there's the Bentley, you did a stunning job on it.
    Another perfect model to join your collection of same, congratulations on one very fine Build, it was a pleasure to follow.

Absolutely superb Przemol, the finish on this model is excellent and the rigging is very well done. The Taurus Bentley engine is spectacular, your exceptional modeling skills really shine through with this model.

What can I add? It is simply an outstanding, amazing etc… model all round. The display is unusual but really sets off the engine and associated detail and the paint finish is ..well what  we have come to expect from you - just totally realistic. A master modeller and no mistake.

Great Job on a nice kit. The extra effort in the prop and mounting detail is outstanding.
