Wooden Sopwith Triplane

Silly Week 2009

 

This is a simple, but never the less enjoyable, wooden kit of a Sopwith Triplane. You have probably seen these types of kits before. They've been around for as long as I can remember.

Rather coarse cutout parts from plywood sheets. I got the kit from my fiancée last Christmas. I think the message was something like "I wish all your kits were made of flat sheets of wood", with reference to my ever growing stash of kits, or maybe that they would be easier to burn..? Of course, I had no idea what she meant..!    

I had a blast building it! Put it together in a few days and painted it with childrens water colours.
