Outstanding!! Too late for my Christmas List however I'd rather order from our main National Distributer; better price overall and, importantly, I want to support the shop. All we need now is a 1&1/2 Strutter and the major Sopwith inventory is covered!
Cheers,
Lance

incidentally the instructions are already uploaded on the Wingnuts site and a full downloadable version is now available.

The kit looks amazing. I decided to see how long I could withstand the temptation to buy one. It was the longest 25 seconds of my life! :)

A good price too. This one should be a winner.

Okay, there goes my discretionary spending for the next six months. Now, Wingnutwings will you, please, make something Austro-Hungarian.

At my wifes insistence, I bought one from WNW rather than wait for Lots o Models to get them in.  It's not the prettiest, but it's neat none the less.

Not the prettiest indeed lol it’s all in the eyes of the beholder... imho one of the most underrated aircraft of wwi along with the Bristol M1c... it’s pugnacious looking.  :o

Now we just need a DH4 next Christmas ;)

Well, if they ain't going to do anything AH, then I would rather have a DH5 than a DH4.

Is the $79 price tag pleasantly low in anyone elses opinion? I would have figured it would be in the $119 range.

Was thinking the same thing!

Same here.  Carol already ordered mine for Christmas.  As an added bonus, my great-uncle's bus is featured on the box top!

It's a single engine scout plane.  Other than the Fokker D.VII, those have all have fallen in the $79.00 range, especially the British aircraft.
