Hi All,
Well another of my incomplete models that I have decided to complete.
This is the Airfix Sopwith Pup in 1/72.
I decided to adopt a different approach for fixing the upperwing and filled the slots of the interplane struts to just leave the strut attachment points to attach to. I also did a little bit of work on the fuselage sides trying to replicate the cockpit ribbing.
So far, it is now painted and partially decalled, all coming from the spares box and using the Scalemates website to see the paint scheme and decal placement on the instruction sheets. Roundels came from two sets of Frog Swordfish decals, these being at least 30 years old!!
Need to touch in the rudder stripes, add a serial in the box on the fuselage, and the word 'Anzac' from Modeldecal lettering. Paintwise the struts need a flesh base before using Oil paint to streak and replicate the varnished wood. The wheels need painting. Assemble top wing to the rest of the airframe, add the wheels and then rigging the model.
Some pictures of my 'Pup' as is now:-
Cheers,
Bigkev
