1:72 Roden Sopwith Camel Comic Night Fighter
Posted by Ted4321 on Thursday, April 9, 2020 1:38 AM

The following are a few pictures of my most recent build.  I don't have a whole lot of experience with decals and so I managed to destroy the roundel decals that came with the kit.  It was daunting to try to find the correct aftermarket decals or masks so I decided to make my own masks and painted the roundels instead.  The rigging is ez line.  Another recent thread here on the forum asked about how we decide our next build...I chose this because of the smaller scale, I wanted experience with rigging, and wanted to try painting plastic to simulate wood grain.  

Thanks for looking!

Those small Roden kits can be a challenge, and yours looks great!

It was definitely a challenge. Attaching the upper wing at the right angle was tough and took a few attempts.  Being small and light added another dimension of difficulty- i have to admit i got carried away and there was a bit of a crunch while adding rigging.  Whoops. A heavy hand was not welcome here.
