Sopwith Dolphin Paint Job

[flash]

I've said it before & will say it again - everyone loves a dolphin. So here's mine:

This is a personal aircraft & although the markings are based on those of 79 Sqn this is not Capt Gillets kite. F in this case stands for Flash !

Coats of Klear & a black acrylic undercoat, GW Bleached Bone underside, Humbrol 155 enamel topside, 64 light Grey for the nose, yellow wheel covers & tail flash to personalise it; Doms decals for the markings & a Peter Pig pilot to finish it off.
I can't wait to get it into action.

Looks great! Getting the pilot in looks tough. Did you get him in through the cutout in the wing? Looks like a tight fit.

Another Flash bit of work. Very nice. Must do a Dolph myself one of these days. I'm working up to a personalised SE at the moment.

:thumbsup: Nice work, Flash!
I have a S/ways Dolphin ready to be started once I finish off my Brisfit & HP 0/400.
I think I will do it as Willie Fry's bird but will need to source some B & W checkers for behind the cockpit.

Wasn't too bad Coog, had to trim him a little to squeeze him in & then turn him the right way - he couldn't be too loose - worried he could fall back into the fuselage. Now gotta get one into a 1 1/2 Strutter & that don't look easy !

Rob - Barry, I look forward to seeing your kites soon.

Great job, Dave. Inspirational as I have two Dophins myself to paint.
