      Cool Revell sopwith triplane 1/72 'Finished'

      Well here it is ,done. The tiny little sopwith triplane. This was a really surprising build, i cant believe how much i enjoyed it! The finished model is about 3" long and quite delicate but I still think of Dastardley and Muttley every time I look at it!! (young uns - Google 'catch the pigeon' or 'the dastardley and muttley show' !!!) Heres the pics comments /criticisms (and observations of the mistakes) welcome, cheers tony

      Another cracker straight out of the top draw Tony.
      At 3" I could barely see the damned thing,never mind build it!
      Cheers

      That is not a model but a miniature work of art.
      Big 5 for sure.

      Cheers,

      Lovely model, as ever.

      Never ceases to amaze me how fast you can work and still turn out, as Ron says, works of art.

      Thanks for sharing.

      Definitely a 5* build. I would have trouble working that small. The wood-grain on the prop is very convincing and the rigging also looks great.
