Kevin Fairgrieve Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Not video but may be of interest to some. The maiden flight of my good friend Shaun Gilbert`s 1/3rd scale Sopwith Pup. A good day for me aswell as I got to take the sticks on the 3rd flight. More pictures can be found here.Maiden flight of a 1/3rd scale Sopwith Pup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Very nice Kevin. I hope he's going to put someone in the 'office' though - a big model like that really needs a pilot. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cantwell Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 considering the mess this pup was in when Shaun got it, its a miracle it was finished, you should see his SE5 it was on the bmfa classified recently, hope he keeps it, i would imagine the scale work is just beginning on the pup, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 That's really very nice, Kevin. I like the art effect in the last two images, too. Would look good on a canvas! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Very nice indeed, you can almost hear it pottering by in the photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Fairgrieve Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 Alan is correct. This is what she looked like when collected. As you can see they are like chalk and cheese. Shaun also scratch built an SE5a to quarter scale. Pictures can be found here. Shauns 1/4 scale scratch biult SE5a Be aware this were taken befor a lot of the scale detail was added.
