A real stunner. Those trainers were very attractive by RFC standards.

Nice Pup! I couldn't imagine an enemy drawing a bead on this thing without getting an immediate headache...

:shock: That's great! Such complicated decals on a biplane in 1/72 😀👍🏼
I like to carve old kits into something roughly aircraft/tank shaped... :grin:

The decals were surprisingly easy to apply. I was very happy. :)

And that's not the most dazzling scheme available! This sheet was out of stock when I got the kit:

Nice! Did the ground crew play chess on it when it was not flying? Just curious.

And still is, so I, having a spare Eduard 48th Pup, ordered the 48th scale sheet - thanks for the tip.

It should look even more spectacular in 1/48 scale!

Nice work Andrew and what a great scheme. I like the Pup - it is a good looking biplane.

What a striking scheme! Fantastic work on this. The decals line up beautifully. Checkers look like it would be quite a challenge.

This is it. The moment we should have trained for.
