I just added it to annoy Martin really!

More of a scratch build than a kit really.
Progress so far.

Looking good Dave. Did the wings go together ok?

Quite a lot of fiddling about, the struts were cut from plastic card and a lot of guesswork was involved - sorry meticulous planning and modelling of course.

Certainly a different looking machine.

Bat boat progress.
Some paint sloshed on.

Both models looking very nice.

I wonder if the Salmson powered units supplied to the German Naval Air Service were an inspiration for Blohm un Voss leading to the Bv 138 in later years?

Rigging!

Almost looks like it's from the same stable as the boxkite.

It may well have been, Sopwith flew a Howard Biplane which was similar to the Boxkite.
