Dainis Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Are the attachment hard points for the rigging internal like the Snipe, or do I use bobs buckles like I would for any other british/german aircraft of that era? I have not seen a Camel real or replica so am not sure. I didn't on my Snipe, but WNW is not clear on buckles/no buckles on the Camel. I have yet to receive the kit, but was just wondering. Just started rigging my Roland dvia so I guess I've got rigging mojo at the moment. So withe the Camel: Buckles or no buckles? On that note, happy modelling. Cheers!

Padubon Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hello, this are some of the pictures I'll use as reference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dainis Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thanks so much for the pics! I'm still amazed at the level of info I get from members on this site. And their building skills as evidenced by the posted builds. I will post once my IT department (my 18 year old daughter) returns from school in Quebec in April. She will be able to mask my blemishes.

Padubon Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 You are welcome. I will start on my camel as soon as I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dainis Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 As an aside, why would WNW tell us not to put buckles on because "it would wrong anyway"? Your photos clearly show buckles on a Camel. What's up with that? Just curious about WNW assertion. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow113 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Does the Camel not have flying wires like other English planes? I cant really see from the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichenson Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 It appears that a lot of camels or at least from what I have seen didn't originally have turnbuckles. The pic above is clearly a more modern As for flight control wires, almost all are inside the fuselage so not really seen except almost the control surfaces.

Dainis Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 So the cables are attatched internally in the wings. The Camel pics are clearly modern. I need to find some original Camel pics. This is the fun and interesting part of doing 100 year old aircraft photographed in black and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padubon Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hello, I am puzzled about the rigging on a camel also, but if you zoom the era photographs you will notice the turnbuckles on the rigging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
