Sopwith Aircraft

by Bob Laskodi

The model is Copper States Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter in 1:48 scale done as Ray Collishaw's early mount. Full build details can be found at Internet Modeler.

The model is the new issue 1/48 Roden Sopwith Strutter done as Ray Collishaw's aircraft. Nicely detailed model, but fairly tough to build (much like early Eduard's). Hopefully, Roden will release more 1/48 scale stuff in the near future. Full build details can be found at www.airandseamodels.com (a subscription modeling e-zine).

Sadly, this has been my only OT model so far this year!

Model is the 1/48 Blue Max Sopwith Dolphin using the CSM P/E set. The aircraft is flown by 19 SQN. Full build details can be found at: Modeling Madness.

Blue Max 1:48 Sopwith Snipe done as Canadian ace William Barker's Victoria Cross winning aircraft. Full build details can be found at Modeling Madness. Special thanks to Cam Riley and Eric Hight for providing research materials.

The model is the 1/48 Copper States Model Sopwith Snipe flown by Canadian Billy Barker on his infamous mission that he earned the Victoria Cross. The model was built for the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association Museum and was featured in the March 2001 issue of Airandseamodels Webzine (fee modeling e-zine) http://www.airandseamodels.com/
