Canada's Most Decorated Soldier: William Barker and His Snipe

[uncarina]

I recently received the WNW Clerget Camel specifically because I wanted to model Squadron Commander William Barker's Sopwith Camel...but first I had to build his Sopwith Snipe! This is my first WNW kit in years, and it was a really satisfying build. Pheon Decals, Tamiya paints, E-Z line, the new Vallejo Metal paints (awesome and odorless), and the little red devil from the Camel kit.

Cheers,  Tom

   Great "debut" on the Forum, Tom, your Snipe is a beauty and in my favourite scheme. I did this one some time ago and now look forward to doing his iconic Camel as well. Lovely work, and welcome again, I look forward to seeing more in future.
Cheers,

Great build, Tom.
Very clean and acurate. I like the subtile weathering of the plane.
