The Sopwith 1
½ Strutter was a British multi-role biplane aircraft produced during World War
One. The largest wartime user of the aircraft was the French Aeronautique
Militaire. Large numbers of the 1 ½ Strutter were built by French manufacturers
in three versions, the SOP. 1A.2 (two seat reconnaissance), SOP. 1B.2 (two seat
bomber). SOP. 1B.1 (single seat bomber). Print Scale has released 1/48 scale
decal sheets in two parts dedicated to French ! ½ Strutters. Five subjects are
featured on part 1. All five are in silver dope finishes with the cowls and
forward fuselage panels in natural metal. Subjects 1,2, and 4 have the upper
fuselage decking around the cockpit openings in varnished wood finish. The
decals appear to be thin and in perfect register, however I have some concern
about the color density. The white shows evidence of the blue backing paper
bleeding through. This may not be an issue when applied over a featured
subject's silver background.
