Sopwith ID Plates
Does anyone have pictures of the various brass plates used on a Pup, or the wording? I have a picture of one from the cowling that warns the gun needs to be resynchronized any time the prop or engine is removed (good advise, I'd say), and am loking for the ones in the cockpit as well as on the tail, if there was one. There are some online photos but none are clear enough to read.
\Any help would be appreaciated. I am sure jn5 would be interested in any for the Camel, as well.

Excellent, Omega, a fine start! Was this on the instrument panel, or an exterior plate?

I purchased this in England for my Camel panel. Construction has started and will post some more pics soon. I am working on the engine mount now. Very complicated aircraft! I hope to have the fuselage framework done this spring and mount the Gnome soon after.

Beaut!
Do you know off the top of your head what the diameter of the compass mounting ring is? I am trying to gin one up to emulate an original.

The ring has an outer diameter of 5 5/8" and a 3 1/8" hole in the center X 3/8" thick. Attached are some photos.
