1:48th scale Sopwith Camel

[sandbagger]

Hi all,
As I specifically build 1:32nd scale aircraft, I wanted to see how a smaller scale model would be to build.
So I've started on an 'Eduard' Sopwith F.1 Camel (Bentley) (kit 8485).
Suffice to say it's much smaller than I thought it would be.
So it presents it's own challenges, not least trying to get half decent photographs!!.
I've used the 'Barracuda Studios' resin seat.
I've also added bracing and control rigging as well as additional pipework etc.
I don't know why as obviously it's virtually impossible to see.

Hi all,
I've finished the 1:32nd scale Airco De-Havilland DH.2.
Also, I'm waiting for the next kit to arrive, the 1:32nd scale Thulin K.

So in the meantime, I'm continuing on with this model.
Sopwith Camel, Serial D3328 of No.209 Squadron, RAF, flown by Lt. Wilfrid Reid "Wop" May.
This was the aircraft May flew in the combat of the 21st April 1918, during which Manfred von Richthofen was killed.
