Wingnut Wings Sopwith Triplane
« on: February 17, 2016, 02:18:13 AM »
All,

As recently promised, pictures of my completed WNW Sopwith Triplane.   Kit builds pretty similar to the Pup kit and has the same areas of tricky/tight fit especially fitting the lower wing to the fuselage.  Other than that, a great kit.

I hope I have not included too many pictures.

Regards

Dave

Beautifully done, Dave!  She's gorgeous.  One to be truly proud of.
Cheers,

We could never have too many pictures of that model Dave - it is simply first class in every respect. I do hope that you will bring it to the next club meeting so that I can give it a proper eyeballing - it will be really worthwhile.

Lovely result Dave - that's a very nice model indeed  :)

This is one of those WNW on the Sold Out list that I really wished I'd managed to get  ::)

Great looking Tripe Dave, and a great choice of schemes as well. The oil staining is very well done. I still regard this one and the Brisfit as Wingnuts best done Kits.
Cheers,

Very nice model, Dave. Beautifully detailed and finished. Missed out on this release before it sold out, unfortunately.
Cheers,
