Andrew's Sopwith Pup **Miraculously finished**

A World War One GB - any subject, any scale, 1914-1918 - this is not a 1914-specific GB.
Runs 6 weeks, July 28th to September 8th, to allow plenty of time for biplanes, rigging, and holidays.
Your GBL is Chris, assisted by jRatz.

Don't hold it open John. I still have to print decals, varnish and do a few finishing touches. That'll take at least a week given the current state of Real Life!

Tailplane reglued and satin varnish applied.

A few paint touch up jobbies to do on the tyres and cowling.

It would probably do as is, but a few minutes with a paint brush would finish it off properly.
If time goes like last week, it will be Thursday before I get any bench time :roll:

Very good. Impressed with the tail assembly especially the control wiring. I've yet to venture down that road with my rigging. One day I will. One day :shock:

Very nice! Well done on getting it fully rigged.

I particularly like the way your wash has given the upper surfaces a weathered look.

It's only half rigged - enough to give the impression :-D

The paint effects were serendipitous!
