Sopwith 1A2 of Sgt Hebert and Adj Borzecki, Chipilly, France, 1916
« on: July 30, 2016, 11:54:45 AM »
This was originally part of the French GB, but I blew it and let the Albatros take over.  She's finally finished, though, and I enjoyed every minute of this build.
I've always wanted a Strutter in my collection and I had earmarked this kit to be done in Ray Collishaw's markings.  It sat in my stash for years awaiting a decent set of after market decals which never materialized.  When the French GB presented itself, those plans went out the window and I became enamored with the profile of this aircraft in Jon Guttman's Reconnaissance and Bomber Aces of World War 1.  The profile depicts this aircraft in CDL and khaki and that's how I chose to portray her.  I hope you like it.















Thanks for looking in, folks!
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks so much, Gary and Lance!  I greatly appreciate your kind comments.
This was such a fun kit, I think I'll do another.  Maybe a single seat night fighter next.
Cheers,
Bud

Congratulations on a terrific model, Bud.  You have really hit the mark
with the Strutter.  The Khaki and the CDL is a great combination and
the rigging is flawless.  A great job in all aspects, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Very very fine Strutter. I like the subtle shading, especially on CDL. Congratulations, Bud!

Thank you, my friends!  The results are purely due to all I've learned from all of you over the years.  This forum provides us with the curriculum for a masters degree in modeling if we pay attention.  Thank you all again.
Here are a couple more in my new favorite setting.




Cheers,
Bud
