C312, 189 (Night) Training Squadron, Suttons Farm 1918
« on: November 28, 2017, 09:24:24 AM »
This is the WNW Sopwith Pup RFC with the use of Pheon sheet 32015.  I took several liberties with this one since only one very poor photo exists.  Hope you will forgive me.
I had a lot of fun with this build and plan on building two more Pups in the near future; a Mono Pup and a RNAS Pup.
Here she is.

And here is the entire litter.  The big dog in company with a pair of Aeroclub 1/48 Pups.






Pups and Tripes all together.


And more of the Sopwith family.


Guess it's obvious that I love Sopwith aeroplanes.
Cheers,
Bud

Beautiful work Amigo! The scheme is striking and certainly brings life to PC 10! A joy to follow your build as always!

Thanks, Amigo!  The PC10 is purely speculative, but fun.
Cheers,

   Excellent Pup Bud, and a really attractive scheme. Neat and clean, lovely detail, and great "woodwork", yet another fine Build from your talent soaked workbench! The Sopwith Collection is very impressive as well.
Cheers,
Lance

Outstanding Pup (and the rest of the collection).  That scheme is very eye-catching and your work is "Stellar" (pun intended).   ;D

That's one of the most beautiful Pups I've ever seen. Very nice, I love it.

That must be one of the more bizarre schemes that I have seen from one of the training squadrons: just love it!! That collection is super Bud, and this latest addition is no exception. I really enjoy following your build logs - you teach the rest of us so much.
