1916 Sopwith Pup full scale build

[Hoss]

New friend is building a Sopwith full scale from scratch using Jim Kiger drawings. Not sure how far along he is but gave me permission to show these for now. I want to be there maybe he'll let me take it for a spin. lol!
The plane is powered by a Warner 145 engine.

The lower Warner instrument panel strip swivels out of site when the plane will be on display for a more period representation like this earlier pic shows, pretty cool to try an hide as much as the modern stuff.

Cant wait to see this completed. The construction pictures are great. The Sopwith was a beauty.
