Just finished my AMA profile carrier model. It's a Sopwith Pup ( Sopwith called it Scout but the pilots called it Pup so Pup stuck).
I've finished it as the one flown by Squadron Commander E.H. Dunning. In 1917 Dunning was the first pilot to successfully take off and land aboard a moving aircraft carrier.
The carrier was H.M.S. Furrious. He made two successful landings but then on his third attempt the engine stalled and he went over the starboard bow into the ocean. He drowned in the wreckage.
My model is approx. 1.06" scale- has a wing span of 29"+  - power is a Thunder Tiger Pro .36. Sig Olive Drab and Topflite Cream. Had to use T.F. trim sheets to create the markings. The 'metal' panels are Klass Kote Aluminum- other wise it is entirely plastic covering. Very lite. The landing gear is of the shock cord type like that used on the actual Pup( Scout ) with Willams Brothers Vintage wheels.
I'm sure all will recognise the pilot::: Snoopy. I had Snoopy in my first profile bip- a profile SE5A designed by my Dad in 65'- the model was my first plane flown in my first carrier event- albeit a club contest held at Randolph Park, here in Tucson. I landed with out engaging the landing ropes- my Dad and Adam Rivero motioned me to taxi forward to engage the ropes. Have been addicted (hooked) with carrier since.
I've included photos of Dunning's flights and tragic crash.
Bare bones of the model and finished.

Handsome!!
