1/144 Sopwith Snipe + Bristol Bulldog - by Don Schmenk





1/144 Sopwith Snipe + Bristol Bulldog - by Don Schmenk (UPDATE)
==========================================
Some exciting models form "Don's Custom Models"
Don's website can be found here:
.
The model is brush painted with Vallejo silver for the metalcowls and mixed the silver 2:1 with light aircaft grey for the doped linenareas.
.
Blue Rider did a set of WW1 roundels in 1/144 with and without thewhite outer ring.
The 19 sqn markings were photo reduced from a 1/72 decal sheet and printedon a laser printer and they work well against a light background.
.
'Strutz' by Aeoclub where used for the struts to makes life easier.
.
Think you'll agree not only well sculpted resin kits, but super paint work!

Don't forget the Hawker Fury in two of the photos! I know that Don is doing several other new items, ranging from other biplanes like a Gloster Gladiator and an Armstrong Whitworth Siskin to a DH88 Comet (air race competitor from the early 1930's) and a North American FJ-1 Fury (early US jet).
