I have been looking for a build thread of these new kits myself.

 

Haven't found anything yet.

 

I thought we might see a build thread go up right away over at WW1aircraftmodels.com, but nothing so far.

 

I was extremely excited when these kits were announced and assumed I'd buy one as soon as they became available.

Since then I have cooled a bit, pending being blown away with someone's build thread.

 

It's just a very weird looking aircraft.  Of course, that is also part of its appeal and charm.

 

 

+1 Yes that’s why I asked, but early days...Yeh, kind of waivering. To get or not to get, then which one? Both? Think I’ll start on the Pup- plenty of build threads...and Ryan’s photos are good motivation

Nice one. Double control wires, yikes! 

 

I cheated on the control lines, just drilled through the part, it’s actually one line..so is the one passing by the stick.

 

Here is the build thread

Mine arrived this morning and what a great kit it is, I'll put my TFI pics up tomorrow as I've finished it tonight rigging and all

^^Yeah, it looks like a quick build.  Just shake the box with a tube of glue inside and presto, instant Gotha!

Looking Good! Nice woodwork and shading!

 

Its been my opinion that the Pup was the best starter kit for anyone getting into the Wingnut world, the way they engineered this and the triplane kit makes wing assembly and alignment incredibly simple. The Snipe was very frustrating to get the top wing aligned. Having the struts included as part of the cockpit, trapped in the fuselage is genius!
