Nice Pup, P-G!

Nice Pup P-G. A different gimbal set up you have. Interesting to see what others come up with.
You can get small ball bearings on the cheap. Might save you a lot of work getting the small bolt into the wooden bead.
Nice build Brian, I like the paint scheme.
Your modifications make the Pup a very personalized one. I like the idea of the square brass too. I must look out for some next time I visit my hobby shop.

Nice and crisp Brian
I like it brown
Thanks everyone!
Pete,
After doing your new Tiger Dr.1 card (Link: Official Fokker Dr1 Painting Thread), I thought I might help out with your home front and do up an equivalent card for the Dragon plane...
Don't let this near F.O. Kyte's plane...

Another amazing card Mike.
Superb cards Mike, and thanks for the included health warning.

Thanks Mike! I'll print these up and surprise my wife this weekend.
Nice Pup Brian. Thanks for the tip on the square rod. When I put mine together I had a devil of a time with the supplied bits. Next box of two should be easier now!

Thanks.

Great paintwork, everyone! I particularly liked the Welsh dragon.
Cheers Mike. Pilot: Lord Flasheart. Woof! Squadron.

Another satisfying change from the khaki drab Steven.

Planes are great. A nice variation of the paint theme. The planes seem quite relaxed on their garden seat,
Here's to them what are like us. Damn few and they're all dead.
Great color schemes Steven. Those will look fantastic on the table!
Cheers guys!
They were very happy in the sun on the garden seat! (As was I)
Nice Pups Steven. They are lovely aircraft and I envy your ability to put the Valom kits together so well. Full marks
Thanks Mike, I doubt I will try any more valom kits, those two drove me a tad nuts during the build.

Lovely job!

Oh very nice, very nice indeed.
Thanks all.
FYI - the contrast for the PC10 colour isn’t as strong as it appears as the highlights in the photo seem to be slightly over exposed. I suppose that’s what happens when you take photos in the evening with an iPhone. Mind you I could have adjusted to compensate if I had paid attention.
Fantastic pups. Great paint job.

Two more Valom Sopwith Pups - in preparation for the next OTT campaign. The 'Chin Chow' is one of the decal options that comes with the Valom kit for Lt AS Lee, 46 Sqn. The light blue one is an inspiration based on the 'Suds' Sopwith Camel with a light blue scheme. I started this scheme with Nieuport 11 in the current OTT campaign.

Paul, these Pups look great. Those Valom models show a lot of detail!
Great collection of pups you now have Paul. I wonder if we'll get to see them all fly at once in a future OTT mission
Two Valom Sopwith Pups - one is based on C215 54 (Training) Squadron and the other is based on the scheme for Stackard's Camel. Stackard 'Camel' decals are from miscmini while the others are Valom kit decals. There are different opinions on the colour of the underwing stripes for the 54 (Training) Pup - e.g., red and CDL for both wings, black and white, or the one I used.
Last photo is the set of 6 Valom Pups I'll used for the next OTT campaign - Bold Young Men (BYM).
Super looking flight Paul. Anticipating seeing these soon on OTT.
