Here it is, not the best build but the kit it to limited to spen loads of effort on, just wanted to see what it looks like.
I think it was an ancient Aurora molding with most of the insigna raised lined removed. The rib detail was to overdone so I sanded it off a little.

Beautiful build, that rigging looks intimidating! Just don't let Snoopy around it...
Looks like a good turn out to me Theuns. If you had to sand the ribbing down I can't imagine what it looked like before you did so.

THAT is crazy! Good call on sanding that all down some. WOW!
Very nice build Theuns! Love that tight rigging.

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
Rigging and paint job really makes the Camel stand out!
Thanx
Beautiful build, Theuns!
You're correct-that kit ended up under the Revell label via Monogram, who bought the molds along with the rest of Aurora's catalog, when Aurora closed up shop. A venerable kit.
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
That's a nice job on the Camel.
How did you do the rigging for this little bird? I ask because a few years ago I made an attempt at building the Eduard Camel in 1/48, and I never could get the cabanes lined up properly, and the rigging efforts I made ended up a total mess. I ended up smashing that kit out of sheer frustration (and later bought WNW's 1/32 Camel, which remains in my stash).
I uses thin elasic line used by people who do beads as the rigging. Its a little thicker than the EZ line I usually use. I did the rigging on cabane struts, interplane strust ext forst before putting on the top wing.
Things like the controll cables I used bristles from a paintbrush as they keep straight.
I have the WNW se5 but will keep off from building it untill I have the skillset to do so.That kit deserves nothing but the absolute best.
