L'il sumpin' sumpin' on the side

Just a wee break from the FK8.  Still need to rig the cockpit and add some plumbing and wiring.
Cheers,
Bud

If I compare the parts with my latest finished model I guess this will be a biplane called Pup some day ...
Nice start!

Cheers,
Frank

That's what I'm hoping for, Frank, unless it all goes south on me.  This is what I'm striving for.

Wow, interesting colors!
Because of this unusual colors of those biplanes I have started to build this model category.

Have fun,
Frank

Thanks Bud, the really colourful ones were usually trainers. That one is a beauty

Hey Bud, what a nice start. But it's the wrong scale, isn't it?  ;)

Nice start Bud. Internals seem to share with the Camel, characteristically Sopwith...?

Very interesting scheme... night fighting training... I hadn't realised it was that organised. Thought they just took good day fighting pilots and fed them up with carrots...?

Is this a Pheon sheet scheme?
