Sopwith Scooter, modified Kovozávody Prostějov (KP) 1/72nd kit

The completed Scooter.

KP again must be thanked for the release of yet another beautiful civil plane.

In this case the box offers the chance to build either a Scooter or its descendant the Swallow. Some parts have been provided to cater for each of them, but the wing and a couple more things need a little work to obtain a more accurate Scooter. These mods are well within the skills of an average modeler.

It is indeed a colorful, jumpy little fella, much more gracious than its parent the Sopwith Camel.

I went for a simple build -only correcting what I mentioned during the building post- but this can be the canvas for a lot of fun, if you decide to go that way.

If you are interested and/or already have the kit, I recommend you visit the step-by-step building article to avoid a few pitfalls.

Other than that, I am so very happy with this quick and rewarding build of a peppy mount that, besides being the personal plane of Harry Hawker, participated with some success in a number of aviation events later on.
