Bobs_Buckles Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hello all, Wingnuts beautifully crafted Sopwith Triplane has been fumbled together by me over the course of the last 9 months. For anyone who knows me, that is RAPID! I can't fault the kit. It is pure New Zealand Gold. The only thing I can fault is my need to try to make everything look perfect. I'm sure I can work on that imperfection and as a result build more kits. I have one image for now, but will upload more soon.

A combo of 2lb and 1.5lb breaking strains. Eyelets (It's what I do!) and 1mm cuts of 0.5mm Nickel Silver tube. Cheers! von B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
