Description: Another Wingnut Wings kit offered for sale from my stash/collection, this time a 1/32 Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin fighter. What more can be said about Wingut Wings kits? A labor of love by filmmaker and aviation enthusiast Peter Jackson, the research and planning that went into their kits was almost unmatched, and the kits are well-regarded by modelers and World War One historians alike for their quality, engineering, detail and accuracy. Perhaps the only thing they failed to do was offer their line in smaller scales. Wingnut WIngs' web site was still up last I checked, but you can't actually place an order with them any longer (though I recommend you download their instruction booklets, which are chock-full of photos, detail, color data and information). With luck, perhaps we'll see these kits produced again one day, but until then Ebay and the odd hobby retailer with a secret supply are your best bet for acquiring one. Released in 2017 by Wingnut Wings, there's an overview of the kit on Scalemates here: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/wingnut-wings-32073-sopwith-5f1-dolphin--1116453 For photos of the completed model, there's a beautiful build bySteven Kramer on Hyperscale: https://hyperscale.com/2019/features/dolphin32sk_1.htm Another by Bud Pearson here: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=9339.0 And a build review on Finescale Modeler here: https://finescale.com/product-info/kit-reviews/2018/05/workbench-review-wingnut-wings-sopwith-dolphin I really kind of hate to let these kits go since they were so highly regarded (and still are) but I'm getting older and recent life and family changes have impressed on me how short life is, on the one hand, and how large my collection of unbuilt kits is on the other. I bought this kit from my LHS a few years ago when they were having a clearance on the last supplies of Wingnut Wings kits, and it has remained sealed in it's unbroken shrinkwrap (hence the glare off the lid in my poor photo), stored safely in my climate-controlled basement. Obviously, all the sprues, decals, accessories etc. are still in their individual packaging within the kit and remain undisturbed. Although favoring the more experienced modeller, the kit is reputedly an enjoyable build and makes an attractive, accurate and well-detailed replica when completed. All purchased kits are very carefully packed in clean and sturdy materials so that my customers remain happy and my conscience untroubled. I can ship domestically via US Post Office Express Mail. I can ship internationally, but I will invoice for shipping in that case.
