N5912 is one of the only two authentic Sopwith Triplanes remaining in existence. It was one of three aircraft built by Oakley & Co. Ltd. and delivered in late 1917. The aircraft saw no combat service and instead served with No.2 School of Aerial Fighting and Gunnery at Marske. In 1936, the Royal Air Force acquired and restored the aircraft. Today, N5912 is preserved at the RAF Museum, Hendon, Great Britain.

It is republished here as a free download. Part outlines and instructional sketches mostly stem from the original, although this version includes major corrections, changes & additions. Colouring, markings, textures, part numbers, and text have been completely reworked for greater scale fidelity and clarity. See thestbuild by "Deckape" here. For a good propeller to this model, please consider the "Simplified laminated prop", available as a free download here. Print the prop at 50 percent for 1/32 scale. |
