Copper State Models 1/48 Sopwith Dolphin


Recommended Posts

Just finished up this little gem of a kit, the new CSM Dolphin. Easily on par with the best of Eduard, Roden, etc.

 

A few minor tweaks to make it my own, most notably the painted markings for No.1 Canadian Air Force Squadron, Ca. early 1919.

 

Full build review to appear in an upcoming issue of Military Illustrated Modeller magazine.

When I opened the post, my first reaction was "Wow"! And then I saw the whicker seat!!

The seat is from BarracudaCast (http://barracudacals.com/proddetail.php?prod=BR48260)

 

The kit provides a decent photoetch seat, but the BarracudaCast seat is in another league altogether.

Lovely job there Tony.  A great subject and No 1 Sqn to boot.  I just read an article about the forst days of CAF with McKeever and all in Air Force magazine. Now you've whet my appetite for a Dolphin to go along with my DVII and Barker Camel ( on order).

 

Must say your models just get better and better! 

Cheers.

Thanks, Basuroy. I suspect that the master for the resin seat was computer modelled and 3D printed.

That is tremendous. Probably one of the best I've seen in 1/48.  It would take some beating if it was 1/32 ! I had to double take to check it was 1/48th after seeing the lettering on the tyres.  Excellent.
