Oh, that is a very old kit. I have built a newer edition. Not sure, if the plastic parts was identical tool. The PE sheet was bigger.

I know, I have seen your great build. This one will also be a Collinshaw's "black maria" with decals borrowed from a Camel.

I got this one from a guy in Switzerland, with my luck Eduard will retool it after I am done with this and sell it for half the price I paid for this one.

The detail looks acceptable, but I will have to do some improvements (aileron check windows, machine gun, cockpit, etc). The plastic quality is not great, but decals are impeccable.

1:72 Sopwith sounds punishing. I am already on my limits in tolerating tiny PE pieces

Awesome progress so far. Would never be patient enough to do these kind of rigging ... never! How often did something fly around your bench? 😁😁

I like rigging with EZ line, it is the cherry on top of a beautiful WWI kit
