Anyone building one of these Sopwith kits? Alan Yendle had his 1/3 Camel at Dayton in 2003 and it was really impressive.

Hey lyle, I ordered a set of wheels and they are pretty neat. Also reasonable. I think his kits are really worth the money. I'm going to order his 1/4 scale Sopwith fittings and fork ends for my Vickers F.B 16D project also. I haven't seen anything better in the way of a "scale" Sopwith kit. I say, go for it!

I built his 1/4 scale camel from plans about 15 years ago, was very very impressed.

Lyle,
I bought a set of his wheels for a 1/3 scale Sopwith Pup. They look great aren't expensive, and are very functional. I too saw pictures of Alan Yendle's Camel and was very impressed. If I were to build a Sopwith for scale compition I would definitely go with one of his kits.
