1/72 Sopwith Scooter

[The Migrant]

I built this Kovozávody Prostějov kit in a 24-hour online build, and managed to complete it on time (though I had to simplify the rigging a bit). It's a fairly straightforward short-run model, biggest challenge was aligning the four cabane struts and the wing.

Mike,
really nice build - if there's something more difficult than a biplane, it's a parasol - especially in 1/72, the gluing areas for the wing are so small! I've done one or two in 1/48, and the wing attachment has always given me grief - the ICM Henschel Hs 126 springs to mind!

Lovely model but I would need binoculars to do something that small.

Outstanding work Mike, on the build and rigging.

Lovely job. Never heard of the kit manufacturer or the aircraft type before. Both look worth remembering though.

KP are an old name - 1968 - in Czechoslovakia, but now are produced by Smer, in the Czech Republic interestingly they make a Sopwith 'Swallow' monoplane No.2 - both used the fuselage of a Sopwith 'Camel' , differing in the size, position and shape of the wing. Bizarre that a Czech maker produces models of rather obscure British prototypes!

Beautiful little gem

Thanks for the comments! I'm now considering the Sopwith Swallow that Dave mentioned, but taking a bit more time with it. (For some more obscure 1/72 British types ckeck out the Avis range.)

That annular winged job looks really strange Mike. Some really obscure stuff there!
