Description
This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Sopwith Triplane N5482 of Flight Commander Charles Dawson Booker of 8 Naval Squadron RNAS. Booker was born in Kent but lived until 1911 in Australia. He joined the Royal Naval Air Service and flew Sopwith Pups, Triplanes, and Camels, though most of his twenty-nine victories were on Triplanes and specifically N5482, nicknamed “Maud”. In August 1917 he forced down Adolf Ritter von Tutschek, who was wounded in the shoulder and later recovered. In the spring of 1918 he took over 1 Naval Squadron (soon renamed 201). In August 1918 Booker was shot down by Ulrich Neckel of Jasta 12.
No painting is necessary — this model comes printed in full color, ready to use. The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card. You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme in the gallery on this page.

Shipping: Shipping varies from about US$7 to US$15 per order, depending on the destination country. See your cart for an exact number — the prices may vary with currency fluctuations. Orders over US$300 may get free shipping (but see the note on mixed materials).
Mixed Materials: Nylon prints are shipped from a different factory than resin prints, so if you place an order with a mix of Nylon and Resin, you will be charged shipping for each material, and each will arrive separately.
Taxes: Sales tax — where applicable — will be added for U.S. shipments. Value-added taxes (VAT) may (or may not) be collected by your postal carrier on receipt, which is known as “Delivery At Place”. Unfortunately, since my printing and shipping partner has no way of marking shipments as VAT-paid, this website cannot collect VAT on your behalf.
Customs: Most orders should be small enough to avoid customs duties, but you may want to check your local regulations. If duties are due, they may be collected by your postal carrier. E.U. customers may be able to avoid duties by keeping their order under €150.
