Sopwith, descendants and acquisitions (Hawker, Gloster, Siddley) for 2023!!

Recommended Posts

I'd like to (tentatively, given my record on GB's) put my name up for this one.  I've a Blue Max Snipe that's been hanging around for a long time.  It's a while since I last looked but I think I also have a Camel from the same source, which allows a choice of the F1 and 2F1 versions.

I too have one of these, it’s a funny mix lovely white metal detail but a bit rough in places.

 

I also have four 1/48 Camels :) 2 Revell (great kit) and 2 mr craft!! ( great decal sheet) 

 

And a 1 1/2 strutter too, oh and a Dolphin.  
 

And an almost finished swallow. 
 

I have finished a Pup, a Triplane, a Snark and a Mouse.

Hmmm, if I don’t do my Gauntlet (Silver Wings 1/32) then it could be a Hawker Fury II (AlleyCat 1/32), or maybe a Nimrod (Lukgraph), Hart or Demon (Silver Wings), Hurricane (PCM or Revell), Typhoon (MDC), Tempest (Revell), Sea Fury (Fisher) or Hunter (Echelon)……..all still 1/32 scale. 🤪

At 24, this is a rich collection of types with many many iconic aircraft. The Sopwith Camel, the Gloster Gladiator, the De Havilland Mosquito, the Gloster Meteor the list just goes on and on, surely we can get this one into 2023…

This lineage being ever-reliable purveyors of quality naval aircraft for the discerning aviator throughout the combined history, I will certainly not struggle to find a subject here. From RNAS pups and triplanes to Nimrods to FAA sea-gladiators, hurricanes, furys, hawks and harriers. Count me in!

Salamander anyone?

2E9EC952-D6DA-4447-B95B-C07343D8A803.jpgYes please, this is the one I just completed for the ground attack GB.

 

I have a Pup, a Triplane, a Mouse, a Snark, a TF1 (Camel) and a Salamander in my collection all 1/48 mostly scratch built. I have a Swallow in WIP and a Dolphin( now earmarked for the Canada GB) , a Snipe and three Camels in the stash.  I’ll probably scratch one or two for the GB if it comes to pass, wouldn’t mind a Rhino or an Hispano Souza Triplane.
