Darrel has done a great job on the test build of the Swallow.
This conversion is for the Academy/Hobbycraft Sopwith Camel, and is designed to make that kit useable ( which it isnt as a Camel)
Now available from Kiwi Resin.

What a sweet little aeroplane! Wonderful model.

Lovely! Very nice model of an interesting and attractive aircraft! It would be nice to be able to build it in 72nd scale!
-
Very nice!
Would I be right in thinking that the prominent ribs above the upper wing centre section were intended to reinforce thr structure or was there some other purpose?
Best wishes

I think the strengthenng strakes might have been to stop the fabric drumming within the prop arc (?)

Snooping around Bob, I found this on the Aussie Ebay page. I'm not sure
if this is the maker Kiwi Resin or not, but that's about all I found.

i think it looks really nice, i have thought about getting the conversion for my academy camel. does anyone have a link to show what comes in the kit? as i understood it was basically a wing and tail surfaces with a seat. it seems kind of expensive for what you get $66.00 is almost as much as a whole wnw kit($51.29 plus $14.50 shipping) not complaining , just personally i am not sure i want a swallow enuff to spend that amount for the conversion. unless i am wrong and theres alot more to the kitset.
