Sopwith Triplane

[Jim]

Collishaw's "Black Maria" from Black Flight "B," Naval 10, mid-1917. About 1:50 scale. Conventional basswood construction, using toothpicks, birch dowels, straight pins, walnut and mahogany laminated prop, tape wing ribs, "O" ring tires, homemade decals, acrylic paints, painted monofilament fishing line rigging and carved pilot figure. Like most such projects, took roughly 75 hours.

Beautiful models. You ave a good way with WWI type aircraft.

Nicely done! I am surprised that the sopwith version of a triplane still had bracing wires as The Fokker did not. Nice detail of the fabric tapes on the fuselage. Thanks.

Thanks, gents. These days I feel a bit like Burgess Meredith in that "Twilight Zone" episode — just before he broke his spectacles:  "Time enough at last!"

Keep safe!

Good job. The triplane has always been on the to do list
