Aw! I thought you had built the old Monogram Snoopy's Sopwith Camel kit! I built that as a kid. It had different messages on stickers to put on a cartoon balloon fitted into his mouth. "Curse you, Red Baron" and so forth.
I think it was motorized, too, to spin the propeller.
Never got the Red Baron's Fokker Triplane, though.

I see a diorama in the future with Snoopy dogfighting the Red Baron. Sopwith Camel vs Fokker DR-1

I've been watching the build on YouTube and there is alot of cabling (thread-work) all over this build including the fuselage.

It is definitely a challenge.
It forces me to slow down & take my time.
I'm training for retirement next year. lol

This is going to be a really fun build!
Mine will be here tomorrow.
I won't be able to start it until I finish the tri-wing, which is nearing completion.
