Description
This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Sopwith Triplane N6307 of Flight Lieutenant John Edward Sharman of 10 Naval Squadron Royal Navy Air Service. Sharman was part of flight “B” of Naval 10, also known as “The Black Flight”, because of their cowling and wheel colors, as well as the planes’ nicknames. N6307 was nicknamed “Black Death”. Canadian Sharman flew at least 29 raids in Sopwith 1-½ Strutters before joining Naval 10 B “Black Flight”. He did not stay with Flight B for long, though, transferring to Flight C in June 1917, where his plane was repainted with blue features. He eventually was given command of Flight C. He was shot down and killed on 22 July 1917, most likely by flak.
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.
