James,

A naval Pup, now thats on my to buy list to go along with the F.2b I already have.

The decals are well done. All the cockades have been cut away where they fit around the ailerons - a nice touch. There are lots of makers logos for the struts, stencils and instrument gauges. I haven't checked them for size yet, to be reported a bit later.



Parts breakdown:



Here is the rest of the instruction booklet. As with the Albatros, the instructions are absolutely brilliant, featuring lots of detailed reference photos and good sized historical photos.



Plenty of interior detail as we have come to expect:





Two separate styles of fuselage halves in order to do the shipboard version which had (I think) flotation devices inside the fuselage:

Modellers will be in no doubt how to paint the engine with these great reference photos of a real LeRhone 9c 80hp engine:









More detail photos of the parts to come later today.

Looks like a sweet little build

Yes a tasty bit of fun.

All I know is I want one! Can't wait until next month. I will have the LVG done by then, and I'll be ready to tackle another one.

The instructions and decals look great! Thanks James for posting.
