1/72 Flashback Sopwith 1.5 Strutter

[Rip Van Winkle]

Flashback Sopwith Strutter straight out of the box. No big problems with this build. Rigging was the most challenging part.

Paint was Misterkit Fr04 clear doped linen. Rigging was .04 stainless steel. I like that there are some extra parts that can be used on other models.

I prefer this kit to the Toko/Eastern Express and will be building a few more since there is now a new decal sheet from Print Scale.

That is a very colourful scheme for an important type. Which squadron?

Beautifully built, rigged and presented.

Neat!

Very nice. Impressed it has the French Eteve gun mounting.

[VickersVandal]

That looks absolutely brilliant!

What is it that you prefer about the Flashback over the Toko kit?

[Clashcityrocker]

That's a beauty.

That's very fine! I've not seen the Strutter in linen finish before.

[JamesPerrin]

Nice model and markings.

That’s a fine piece of work. I looked up info on the actual aircraft - I had no idea that the French were the biggest recipients and users of this Sopwith.

[Rip Van Winkle]

I found that the Flashback model was of better quality and I actually used some of the PE parts. Model depicts aircraft from Esc 226 on the front of Windsock Datafile 34

Lovely build that looks great in French markings.

Another cracker there, looks great - and something I didn't know from Tony too!
