sandbagger Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hi all, The model I'm currently working on is the Sopwith F1 ‘Camel’, Serial No.B6313 (later modified version), as flown by Major William G Barker, CO of No.139 Squadron, RAF, based at Villaverla, Italy during August 1918. So far the cockpit, engine and propeller are done. Mike 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Looking very sharp Mike. Which manufacturer is this? I’ve got the WnW Ships Camel, I assume the cockpits are similar....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbagger Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Hi Phil, It's the WNW F1 Camel (Clerget engined). I have the ships Camel as well - the two are pretty much the same, although the cabane struts on the F1 are part of the cockpit side frames, whereas on the ships Camel, they need to be cut off as the struts are part of the fuselage halves. Also a single Vickers gun as it has the wing mounted Lewis gun. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandbagger Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hi all, I've moved on a bit and now have the fuselage closed up, primed and pre-shaded ready for the 'Aviattic' linen effect decals. I've also got the two figures primed ready for painting - mechanic from Copper State Models, pilot from 'Blackdog Models', Mike 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 A beauty, can't wait to see how the Aviattic CDL's work, because I chose them for my FE.2b. Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbagger Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Hi all, It's been a few weeks since I posted for this build - been on vacation. Anyway the two figures are completed now - Barker himself and his mechanic (who will be working on the engine cowl). I'm currently cutting and applying the 'Aviattic' linen effect decals to the models (light PC12 and CDL) - a time consuming job as they are not cookie cut, so accurate paper templates need to be cut first then used to trace the outline onto the decals sheet.

MGunns Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Great interior work: Too bad it will all but disappear once you button it up. The linen decals look nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbagger Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Hi all, The linen effect decals for the CDL are on now. The photo is in strong light and doesn't really show the slight applied pre-shading very well. These and the PC12 decals are basic and will be weathered etc later in the build, Mike 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Mike, you’re tempting me to start my ships camel.......get behind me devil........ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
