Aurora 1/48 Sopwith Triplane

This one sat around a while til I got around to rigging it. Was trickier than the others due to that middle wing. Not my best effort, but still looks ok. Same deal as the others. Sanded off the decal locators, added a basic interior. Markings are spurious as the kit ones were too far gone to use. I thought the wing alignment would be fiddly, but it actually went together pretty easily.

Superb rendition Ron! I really like the shadow shading on the bottom color. And now you'll find (as I did) that you have to be careful of the rigging that runs from the middle wing to the fuselage EVERY time you try to pick it up! :smiley2:

Well done, sir!

I'm really liking seeing all of these old kits coming back to life.

A little elbow grease and you have a nice looking addition to the collection.

Another lovely rendition of an old- and presumably out of date / only good for collecting - Aurora kit !

Seeing the model conjured up old memories of reading ( in a late 1960s Air Classics zine ? ) about Raymond Collishaw's experiences in Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution after WWI.

Thanks for posting the photos !
