Without this important piece of aviation history this book could probably never have been written, because it was the Sopwith Triplane that first triggered the "Triplemania"!

Bughunter... you built a TIMEMACHINE?!?😉
Fantastic piece of work. Your detailing and solutions are a source of endless inspiration. Can't wait for what's next 👍

So the flying Praliné of Flanders makes it across the line 👍
Beautiful representation of the black-actually-brown finish of the aircraft - I guess this must have been an actually effective camouflage over the muddy shot-up landscapes of the no-mans-land...
Again we get the usual "the longer you look, the more you discover" (in the most positive sense😉 ) kind of experience - engine & propeller, rigging, all kinds of mechanical details all checked 👍 And the wheels were IMHO also the right choice, plasticity, tires & all.

Thank you mates 👍
@Jens - not demotivating, I want to see a WNW from your bench!
@Alec - I put a shelf queen out of the 'On hold' state, next update done already😉
@Slavo I'm not sure about camouflage with all the colorful machines and markings. They found this black cool, which allows a 'Black Flight' with Tripes 'Black Death', 'Black Sheep', 'Black Prince', 'Black Roger' and this 'Black Maria'. Other flights used blue or red markings.

Fantastic, if my Tripe from WNW turns out half as good as yours I'll be more than happy...

Thx mates! Urban, the Tripe from WNW is great kit and has more detail as I can scratch and show here. Have fun building it!

Thanks mate, I'm sure that I will have fun with it but not quite yet. So many projects so little time...

Fantastic photos, the illusion is so perfect that the Tripe looks like a real Tripe!

Really great pics, you caught just the right light & atmo for this 👍 Pic 15 with the propeller "at attention" looks cool & pic 16 absolutely looks like from a movie!

Wow, thank you mates for your great feedback! Daniel, I inserted b/w versions after the color pic, for easier comparison. So they get a new number😉
