Copper State Models' Sopwith Dolphin kit is now on sale
« on: May 20, 2016, 01:33:12 PM »
Great news for WW1 modellers, the Copper State Models' new-tool 1/48th Sopwith Dolphin kit is on sale and it's a real gem!

I received a Premium Edition kit today and it will be the subject of a detailed review on this Forum very soon.

In the meantime I want to applaud Edgar Liepinsh and the CSM team for a world-class product which can best be summarised as Wingnut Wings quality in 1/48th scale.

The kit is available in standard and premium editions through the Copper State Models' website. CSM also runs a shop here on the forum.

I believe Copper State are setting a new world standard in 1/48th scale WW1 aircraft models.

Mine's on the way, Dave, and I'm really excited about it.  Looking forward to your review.  Have you settled on a scheme, yet?
Cheers,
Bud

Mine turned up yesterday and I have to agree with David, it is a brilliant kit, I'm looking forward to reading David's review and I'm also hoping to see many builds of this kit on the forum.

I have this kit in my hands for some time now. There are pros and cons, as usual. But before I give my detailed opinion I would like to hear the others opinion first, after all 1/48 is not my scale.

Mine is on the way also. Does anyone know if Rowan/Pheon's Dolphin decals will be compatible with the Copper State kit?

They should.  None of the options appear to go right to the edge of any components.

Thanks Bud. I will have to take a look at Pheon's decal sheet and see if it's still available.

This new kid is very exciting. It is extremely well done and well thought-out the more I look at it the more I am tempted to start it immediately

That is one beautiful model. Dave Wilson hit the nail on the head when he wrote that it was akin to Wingnut Wings in 1/48th. I haven't resumed building yet (still configuring the hobby room after a recent move), but when I opened the box and saw what was inside through my Optivisor the only word that came to mind was "Zoinks!"  Congratulations, CSM, on this magnificent Dolphin!
