Wingnut Wings Sopwith Pup (Finished May 1,pics on page 3)

Hi Guys,

Thanks a lot for the comments and interest. I am building the kit OOB with the exception of the rigging. For the cockpit rigging, I've used 2 lb. test fishing line called Maxima Chameleon. It has a natural bronze-ish color which I'm leaving as is.

When it comes time for the wing rigging, I'm planning on using a product called 1/4" flying wires from RB Productions. These are a flat, stainless steel affair, much like PE. These look to be perfect for replicating the flat flying wires that British bi-planes used. I'll let you know how it works, as I have not used it yet.

Thanks for the invite for a GB, but I think this one is just gonna be solo. Maybe the next: I have the WnW Albatros D.V, D.Va, LVG, and an SE 5A.

Nate- Excellent work .Are you adding to the kit  or is that cockpit detail  shown supplied in the kit?

Nate,

That CP is exquisite!  The rigging you've done really brings it to life.  What did you use for rigging? I will most assuredly be following this build.  I'm not sure if you are into a group build right now but, there is one going on, "Classic Aviation GB 1903-1938', hosted by Aaronw. This would fit right in.

Aren't those WW kits amazing? Don't be surprised if you start to discover more detail, especially when you start to shoot some color on the rest of the kit.  I'm working on a Junkers J.1 and discovered that they "stressed" the leading edge where it meets the corrugation.  It wasn't readilly apparent until I laid down some color.  They are apparently planning some releases of uber detailed kits.  Like around 250 PE parts. Great for the one in your life with raging OCD.  It sounds kind of like what Eduard did with their Royal Class kits. 

Keep the updates coming

Cheers

Dave
