 Through the magic of Photoshop, we edited out the little propeller beenie on his helmet though (or maybe we'll just edit one it....)

Looks Great!! The Panel really looks the part. It would be nice to have you describe each of the instruments and what you did to acquire them and what compromises you made.
I'll second that, it's interesting to hear how other builders aquire parts. Phil |

I have to be totally honest, all of the credit for the instruments goes to Mike Cilurso and Paul D. They did all of the legwork collecting these instruments over a period of years from various sources. They picked them up when and where they saw them.

Hi Guys,
For those interested in the instruments used in this Sopwith Pup, I have the same original tachometer, altimeter, and clock (all in excellent condition) that I will consider selling together as a group. If interested, let me know: [email protected] Regards, Gary Sewall |

I would be enjoyable to understand how you picked out what you did... what was right, what was close enough, what was a complete compromise.. Rob |
