I held back on the weathering, as the original was quite clean - except for the middle part of the lower wing, because that was completely oil-covered.

Some of you may know the Sopwith Triplane as a small aircraft - the Quadruplane is much smaller!

WOW! You don't see many of those every day. I've never seen it before in fact. Incredible work Frank, that engine is a glorious model in itself!
Now, I'm off to Google to read up about this cutie.

Thank you very much mates!
@gorbygould I have also not seen this one built before. I don't know if you find that article already, but I added a link to the best known article about this aircraft to _this_ album.
@Sy Bar With a rubber stick, see pic 45 of the build log (attached to project).

Crazy design and really odd, but you made a real stunning piece of it Frank!!!
The engine 👍👍👍

Alleine wegen der Vielzahl der Verspannungskabel und Tragflächen (alles parallel und rechtwinklig bzw. nicht verzogen) hast du einen Orden verdient! Zumal das auch noch Resin ist!!

Inspiring modeling as always. I just bagged the following book while attending my first post-COVID 19 model show: a great overview of triplanes and multiplanes throughout the ages. Book: Triplanes (by Peter M. Bowers, Ernest R. McDowell)

Thank you mates for stopping by and commenting! And all the likes.
@Bernhard Da hilft mir meine Holzstreben-mit-Messing-Pins Methode, da kann man eine Fläche durchaus kräftig in die richtige Position biegen 😉
@Alec I don't know if I should by this book, because I own already "The Fighting Triplanes" by Hadingham. It is a old book, but the planes inside are much older. The Quadruplane is not in.

On the other hand, why should the Quadruplane be present in a book about triplanes...! 😉

A stifling argument 😉 I mentioned it, because the book Alec shown is called "Triplanes" and has multiplanes in 😎

The answer to the riddle is in the book's subtitle 😉. It does contain the Wight quadruplane and pretty much anything that had 3+ wings in any configuration. The book is essentially a summary so don't expect details and drawings (although there are a few). I paid $10 and just saw it on Amazon for around $3. It's from 1993 so it's dated but, again, a nice overview for those interested in the topic 👍

Thank you Tom and Lenny!
Not my masterpiece, but nice result for my first complete resin kit. Now it is no more complete resin 😉

Thx Rui! In case you have not seen it you should visit the build thread (attached to the Project).
This will not be my last SPIN kit as it is a good base.

Thank you Guy!
Stay tuned for a posting on Tuesday, which is somehow related to this project!
