While not so much a con, as such, some of the parts here are extremely delicate, and that delicateness may offer some real problems if not dealt with very carefully. ProsД®xcellent detailing, great decals, wonderful instructions and interesting subject. I also expect that the aftermarket folks will jump on when and where needed, to provide us with additional enhancements for this cool kit. I am very pleased with what I've found thus far, and anxiously await the opportunity to begin working on my example. SummationДЄll in all, I think this is a fabulous effort from Wingnut Wings, with overall proportions looking good to my eye. There were a few portions of the kit that I photographed, but had no specific category for, so I decided to just lump them all together here, as they are undoubtedly relevant. (Bear in mind that the engine sprue is a somewhat generic Clerget sprue, which was also used in some other applications, so only one pushrod assembly is used on this machine proof that Wingut Wings were definitely planning ahead when these components were originally designed.) This is a recurring theme with this kit (with one frame being specifically labeled Sopwith Pup), much in the same way the various Fokker D.VII boxings were done. The engine, much of which will be readily visible on the finished model, should look a real treat once carefully painted. Two different propellers are offered, but again, only one is used. WNW has even gone to the extreme here by also molding in individual spark plugs, which is a real hoot.

The push rods are just amazingly delicate, are offset at the crankcase (as they should be) as well as featuring molded in lifters (mechanical or hydraulic, I don't really know which, probably mechanical though), and rounded tips where the pushrods interface with the rocker arms. The Engine is another area that seems to be very well detailed, incredible really, as the photos readily attest. (Since this is more of an in-box review than a build review, I have no photos of assembled sub-structures, so this look should be considered more of an overview of the various areas I thought might be of interest.)ДЄs is all too typical of virtually all Wingut Wings kits that I've now been exposed to, detail is crisp and delicate, with wonderful attention being made to the very subtle fabric effects on the fuselage in particular, and miscellaneous details in general. This kit represents one of the many special boxings of a previous Wingut Wings kit, and therefore has some features unique to this particular machine. While clearly not a new kit, as such (first available somewhere around 2012, I believe), I just finally got my hands on one, so thought that I'd provide a look-see as to what's in the box. I decided at the outset to remove myself from the somewhat typical and lengthy description of the Sopwith Triplane technical development and operational history, as that information is readily available from a variety of other sources.
