The Luftstreitkräfte's tripehound

history
The Sopwith Triplane was a British single seat fighter aircraft designed and manufactured by the Sopwith Aviation Company during the First World War. Pilots nicknamed it the Tripehound or simply the Tripe. The Triplane became operational with the Royal Naval Air Service in early 1917 and was immediately successful. The Triplane was nevertheless built in comparatively small numbers and was withdrawn from active service as Sopwith Camels arrived in the latter half of 1917.

Borys built Roden's 1/32 scale kit and dressed it in one of the marking options available in the new Wingnut Wings kit depicting a captured triplane.
