Lemon build: Airfix's 1/72 Sopwith Pup

[RedDragon62]

Found this kit on Ebay.

The kit was missing many pieces and to make a long story short, I didn't get what i paid for and was refunded my money.

Sitting around one day bored to tears and waiting for parts for my Tydirium Shuttle to arrive, I took it out and started to fiddle with it.

Initially, I just wanted to slap it together and shelve it but as the build went on, I kinda got attached to the little bugger. Here are the results.....

Sorry...I lost the pictures of the build in process but did document it on my Youtube channel in case your interested...

Added some Ez-Line to dress her up a bit....

Oh well. Since I went as far as to add EZ-Line, why not Wood Grain on the propeller?

Now....LHere she is...all dressed up....

I now have mad appreciation for those of you that build these "tiny" kits. Darn thing had me seeing crossed eyed for days...LOL

Anyway....Thanks for taking the time to watch my little build. Please...comments, critiques and or advice is always welcome.
