Title: Sopwith madness
Post by: Queeg on October 16, 2012, 10:15:14 AM: "Smudger" Harris and his lucky Sopwith Camel ... a study in Nationalism from his Union Jack tee shirt right down to his steel toe caps. He's drawing a bead with his favourite close in weapon, a Purdey & Sons custom short double barrel named, "Turpins Key".

Like the Triplane, this is another cheap 1/48th Smer kit ....

Your style plays into the moldings and does something unique, special, and fun. It's great to see and we look forward to more. Welcome aboard.

True, been thinking of a 32nd Tigermoth in a similar civil scheme.

Thatz it, I agree so much.
Makes me think of a could have been scene from an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie that never was filmed.
