Wingco57 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 This proves that an old kit can still be fun to build. Looks great Ralph. Cees 1

TeWika Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Ralph, well done for a first try- very gutsy, turned out great! The woodwork came out fine. Was it difficult? Cheers Ted 1

ajcmac Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I always wanted to build a model of WWI but the paint to simulate wood and all cables that help fix the wings scare me a lot. Congratulations on the achieved result . Regards ajcmac 1
efrick Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Nice work Ralph! The wood grain is completely convincing, and the rigging is excellent! 1

Felixstowe up next? Thanks Doogs! I agree with woodgraining begin really intimidating until you do it a couple of times. I practiced on a styrene sheet before applying the technique to the Sopwith but still held my breath, lol!!
