sandbagger Posted November 16 Share Posted November 16 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.

sandbagger Posted November 16 Author Share Posted November 16 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. Mike 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinM Posted Monday at 01:10 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:10 AM You know Mike looking closer that red nose looks real and such a nice shade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kevin, Just 'Tamiya' Red (XF7) with Rubber Black (XF85) added to darken it, Mike 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago I can't believe that's 1/48. It looks stunning. I keep coming back to the wicker seat for some reason. Plus the fuselage wood graining is impressive too. Carl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbagger Posted 8 hours ago Author Share Posted 8 hours ago Hi all, The kit decals have been applied. Being 'Eduard' I tried the method of removing the transparent carrier film once the decals had set. It worked by rubbing over the decal using white spirits with a cotton bud. However, too much rubbing can remove the decal as well. Too risky, so I just applied the decals in the usual way. Now its onto weathering before I start the pre-rigging!!
