Thank you friends.

I was looking for the Sopwith Camel for a long time, and finally bit the bullet and got a dual combo kit from ebay last year for a reasonable price. This kit is not an easy kit to work with especially all the tiny photo-etched parts. As usual all rigging is done with EZ (fine) line as I find it easy to work with not too much hassle. The laminate propeller and wooden parts are painted with oil paint. I also mask off the tail and airbrush it instead of using decals.

And for the 2nd Camel I am thinking about doing a colourful scheme like the one below:

Great job on your Camel.  My hat is off to anyone who can get any biplane together, including all that rigging, and end up with such a wonderful looking model.

That's really fantastic work. I love the way you've articulated the ailerons. Really adds a lot of life, and has the bonus of making the "painted on" decals that much more convincing.

Very nicely done. The airplane looks factory fresh.

OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...
