A new build... or actually a couple of days old by now. The build is underway, but today you only get inital pictures. The kit is from Eduards new tool limited edition boxing. The one with the Biggles machines in it.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/Camel%201.jpg)
I have to say that I probably owe quite a lot of my modelling interest to my fathers Biggles books. He bought and read them when he was young and I probably picked them up at around the age of 8 or 9 and then kept on reading them for the next four or five years (together with lots of other similar books). Given that, I feel that I will have to build one of the Biggles planes included and I have an idea about a nice book inspired base to place it on as well. When that happens, it'll be this version.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/Camel%202%20Biggles.jpg)
This time, due to a club challenge expiring just after new years, it'll be Harold Beamish N6377 instead.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/Camel%203%20N6377.jpg)
First impressions are very good so far... It's going to be an essentially out of the box build. No Brassin additions, even though Eduard have some fantastic items in that range. That might be something for the next one. I've painted the interiors and assembled some subsections and everything's now been given a clear coat before some washes and wood imitations. There will be some pictures once that happens.
Lastly, a picture of the contents.

I saw an excellent paint job made with this kit in the Eduard November online magazine.
Good luck with Your project.

Welcome aboard Rick and Ernie - I economised a bit by quoting Ernies reply with him quoting Rick, an effort completely spoilt by this explanation... :D
Anyway, I'm very happy to have you tagging along. It is a lovely kit and it seems to be very precise and easy to build in that sense, but then most Eduard kits are nowadays.

Well, we would all be very surprised if you built one OOB! I'm sure you can improve the kit offerings, but I'm not really at your level and this time I'm planning on a straight forward out of the box build, except for rigging and painting the markings of course. It has to be done by January 6 or so...

Thank you von Salza! There always seems to be an element of luck somewhere in a build.
So if I only offered poor pictures yesterday, there are some real photos of the build on offering today.
I started with some basic painting - linen, brown, aluminium - and then building sections of the kit that could be assembled without complicating later work. Everythings ahs been given a clear coat, which makes it more difficult to photograph.
First the basic fuselage sides - inside and outside. Then a bit of a dark wash to emphasize the internal structure and some oil paint on the outside to simulate the wood - even more difficult to capture on camera.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image163.jpg)
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image164.jpg)
I suppose that very little will be seen of the cockpit area once the fuselage is closed and the wings are on, but I added a few pipes from wire and did a bit of detail painting.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image165.jpg)
The seat is a bent piece of PE that has to match the seat bottom as well as the leather coaming, both plastic parts - not the easiest of operations, but it looks good. The whole thing will get a wash to lift some details and a matt varnish later.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image166.jpg)
Supposedly a Bentley engine made from kit parts - except for the pushrods which are wire. It will obviously benefit from a wash to lift some of the details.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image167.jpg)
Instrument panel and induction pipes. Eduard's pre-coloured PE, which is quite fine I think. I'll use this build to see what really could benefit from being replaced, but I guess that the engine is a better thing to exchange for a Brassin version than the IP.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image168.jpg)
I was contemplating adding the controlwires from the rudderbar and the control column, but then had an attack of laziness. I can still change my mind, but I'm wondering if they'll be at all visible?!
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image169.jpg)
Next up: adding internal bracing wires and start putting things together.

Nice start with internal work. The new Camel looks wonderful, looking forward to next details.

They won't, but do what will make You a pleasure.

Your off to a good start, Fredrik -
I'm really interested to see how this one comes out

Outstanding work on the interior and wood effects Fredrik! I Look forward to More 8)
RAGIII

That is a nice progress Fredrik!
Your PE panel looks nice, on my kit the black frames seems to be printed off center :-[
But I wanted to try anyway one panel of the Eduard Löök series and now I have the chance ;)
And yes, I noticed your brass filler caps!
Cheers,
Frank

Damn you, von Salza, and thanks to the rest of you for looking in... ;D ;D ;D
No, seriously, thank you, von Salza! Of course one should do what one feels like, it's just a hobby... at the same time, being lazy might not give you the satisfaction you're after and I know I tend to take shortcuts at the beginning of builds, that I come to regret later. So... I added the wires! They are at least visible now! ::)

That's looking at the bright side! :) It'll be interesting to se how much you'll see of it. Maybe I'll get a Löök IP for the next Camel?!
And the filler caps... so far only paint. I think I'll try and fashion something that adds a bit of structure there.
Wires!
So, I got the rudder bar off again and drilled a few holes in it, as well a hole through the joystick. Added an appropriate number of lines (still a bit lazy and skipped one if you look at the WnW rigging diagram) and routed them through a scratched piece of plastic. It looks ok and I'm counting on the chair and petrol tank to hide parts of it. Although I'm probably going to give the white piece of plastic some wood colour.
Nothing else has really happened as I've been waiting for the oils to dry. Next time though...

A great start! I'm keen to follow along - although I'm a 32nd guy for WW1 I'm very intrigued by this kit.

Great start Fredrik! Very nice work on the cockpit.

Thank you Rick, Alexis, KiwiZac and Ernie!
More work done and the fuselage is closed.
Some internal rigging done. No drilling, just some 2 mm brass tubing from Bob's Buckles and fishing line painted with Vallejo Steel and everything superglued into place.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image173.jpg)
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image174.jpg)
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image175.jpg)
Then there were those caps. Whenever Frank shows his work, and alot of others too, it always looks nice and clean... this, not so.much! 😀 But I'm quite happy with it after paint and in place. But please ignore all those dust particles. I'll have take care of them later, and the camera tends to exaggerate them a bit.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image176.jpg)
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image178.jpg)
After that it was time to close the fuselage. At this point you're beginning to see how little that will be visible of the innards, but we all know it's there.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image179.jpg)
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image180.jpg)
Eduard tells you not to glue the seat and tank frame or the IP to both sides of the fuselage. That is because you need to be able to flex the front end open a bit in order to insert the firewall and fuselage bottom. Works like a charm though, even if I managed to get a bit of a fingerprint onto the bottom part.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image181.jpg)
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image182.jpg)
And with the top placed, but not glued, in position. Next step... probably preparing wings and control surfaces for rigging.

Such detailed work, Fredrik. Your skills at 1/48 really are something to inspire us! Excellent progress indeed.
Cheers,
Gary
-
Terrific progress Fredrik! Your interior looks great in the closed up fuselage. Also very nice filler caps!
RAGIII
-
Again I forgot the scale before looking at the photos, thinking I was looking at a a terrific 1/32 build! I second the call on the filler caps: every (fraction of) an inch as good as any others I've seen on here.
-
Really great work and all these nice additions and extras. Really great craftsmanship.
Bye,Manni
-
Fredrik , really nice clean work on the details . Fantastic job on the wood paneling as well , sharp looking !!!
Alexis
-
Yep, very nice so far!
As we talked about the panel fasteners on my Aviatik:
Do you removed all fasteners on the oval panel?
Eduard mould them very nicely, but I lost nearly half of them during transport on my kit >:(
So I think I will remove the rest too and replace all by brass wire (don't need to be painted).
The sprue E has a bad quality, so the face of the cowling do not show the riveted ring, I will show pictures later.
Cheers,
Frank
-
Well, thank you all for your comments and interest in my humble efforts!
Gary; you and so many others (among them all those below) inspire me, so it's only fair if I try to inspire others. Great to know that some is, too.
Terrific progress Fredrik! Your interior looks great in the closed up fuselage. Also very nice filler caps!
RAGIII
Well, the interior is there at least... With a torch and a mirror someone might catch a glimpse. 😃 For the filler caps, see below.
Zac; Those filler caps I'm actually really happy with. Simple work but something that actually will be quite visible in the end.
Manni and Alexis; thanks!

I'm sorry Frank, but I don't really follow... what fasteners on what panel? Do you have photo of your part or a part number?!
My E sprues are also a bit short shot. Luckily for me it only shows on the outermost part where the propeller goes. You can actually see that if you scroll up to the engine pic. I guess Eduard would replace them if you asked them.
/Fredrik
-
Stunning work, Fredrik -
Love your painted wooden panels
Regards
Dave
-
Very, very nice Fredrik! I am also a fan of your wood paneling.
A really enjoyable build to follow. Well done!
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
Yes, me too, having a WNW Camel mostly cleaned up from the sprues I can see Eduard took more than a cursory look at that, too :)
I really should get back to my Camel...
-
Sorry for the late answer.
I'm sorry Frank, but I don't really follow... what fasteners on what panel? Do you have photo of your part or a part number?!
Here are my fuselage, with 3 fasteners on the oval panel lost in package. the upper left one in pic is already broken.

Interesting Frank! I had a look at my six fuselage halves and none of them had your kind of "large" fastners.
Not a new picture, but it shows "my" fastners. They are very small and almost invisible, but they don't seem to be broken in any way.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image182.jpg)
Anyway - I think your idea with copper wire replacements is a good one in any case. I'll probably do that myself.
Dave, Ernie and Jeroen - thanks for your appreciation and the wood is very simply Gunze H310 (I think) and Winsor&Newton Burn Sienna. Anyone can do that, I'm sure.
Cheers!
/Fredrik
-
I'm sure all the pins are broken off from your fuselage sides.
The problem is, that the fuselage outside touches the packaging foil, so the pins cannot survive the transport.
Cheers,
Frank
-
I'm not so sure, but I can't explain why yours look the way it does either... All of my hatches look like this example image from Eduards own site...

In a vain effort to compete with Frank about who completes his Camel first, I've been toiling away at the desk as the year nears its end. My real goal, apart from beating Frank to the finish line, is to have it done before my model club meeting on 2. January. The competition with Frank is somewhat unfair to him as he didn't know about it and the fact that I started my build a lot earlier ::) :D. But, on the other hand, it's still unlikely that I'll win it.
It really is a nice model and the details are fantastic. These inspection windows and their details might look a bit messy here, but bear in mind the magnification... in real life they look great.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image184.jpg)
N6377 comes with a lot of different colours in different places. I think it's quite fun painting schemes like these. First time I'm painting something in PC12 - or at least I suppose it is, as Eduard only says Mahogany in the paint instructions.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image185.jpg)
When everything is painted, it's time for masking and more paint - roundels, fin flash, etc. At this point I thought I'd use the kit decals for the serial "N6377" and so I didn't make a mask...
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image186.jpg)
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image187.jpg)
... which turned out to be a mistake as I completely botched the application of the decals. :-\ My fault probably. I should have waited longer to allow the clear coat to set fully. It led to some sanding, new paint and the making of masks for the serials... It came out ok, I think.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image188.jpg)
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image189.jpg)
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image190.jpg)
Waiting a bit longer, lucky I didn't start with this decal yestarday, I could apply the rest of the decals without any problems what so ever! Next step is to peel the decals once they've set properly and then it's assembly time probably.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image191.jpg)
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all of you!

She's looking great, Fredrik! I always enjoy seeing bits of New Zealand on builds like this.

Outstanding work on the painting and dealing. This is a really awesome scheme.
RAGIII

Love the scheme !
Alexis

Thank you all for your comments - KiwiZac, Stuart, Rick and Alexis! Yes, isn't it a fantastic scheme?!
It's Tuesday evening here in Sweden and I've got four more days until the next (fingers crossed there will be no lockdowns or restrictions...) model club meeting and the showing of models built for the 2021 theme "At sea"... and an RNAS Camel has got to fit into that, don't you think?! Progress has been good and there is a good chance to actually manage this before Sunday noon.
As always, towards the end, there are lots of separate parts to be finished before assembly and rigging. I didn't buy any upgrades for this Camel, but I had previously bought Eduard's Rotherham pumps set so that was installed on the landing gear. There is an extra leg, so no surgery was needed.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image192.jpg)
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image193.jpg)
Lots of tape before shading, removed tape after shading and finally everything after an oilwash. Not really happy with the shading, but after the oils it looks good. I didn't put too much of an effort into the photography, so there's a bit of a glare and a bit dark and so on... sorry.
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image194.jpg)
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image197.jpg)
(http://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image198.jpg)
The engine was upgraded with brass tubing for spark plugs and a thin copper wire for leads. The wires should probably not be curled like this, but they are anyway.

The Rotherham pumps are exquisite! Definitely an improvement on the moulded part.
I realise I'm probably far too late but one thing I've noticed on TVAL's Clerget-powered Camel replica, the oil staining is quite pronounced. These photos by my Dad were taken in 2004 - five years after being imported into NZ but perhaps a good indicator of what could be done to help make your Camel stand out?

Excellent paint work and detailing, FAf. This will look great when assembled.

The competition with Frank is somewhat unfair to him as he didn't know about it and the fact that I started my build a lot earlier ::) :D.

You will win for sure because I was out of the town for family visits (without models and bench of course!) so no progress on mine.
Cheers,

Thanks for looking in and commenting guys! Much appreciated!
Well, happy new year! Let's see what 2022 might bring. First out will be this model. It's not done yet as my club meeting tomorrow is cancelled... guess why?! But it's still winter break for another week, so it'll be done in another day or three.
KiwiZac - interesting pictures... I did revisit the underside with a bit more weathering, but not as much as that. Thanks for posting them anyway.
Cheers!

KiwiZac - interesting pictures... I did revisit the underside with a bit more weathering, but not as much as that. Thanks for posting them anyway.
Not a problem, it's interesting to see the real-world effects of rotary engine operation and how to meet the challenge of replicating them.

Fantastic results so far Fredrik !

Great work all around. Fine interior, nice touch on the pump, too. Looking forward to see it completed!

Wonderful work, Fredrik. The scheme looks great and the tiny details you have added are the cherry on top.

Lovely inspirational work on this one, Fredrik! The colour sheme is just lovely and beautifully done... ATB, Marc.

Thanks for looking in - and a special thanks to KiwiZac, Rick, Ken, Frank (fantastic progress on your Camel!), Dave, Alexis, PrzemoL, Manni and Marc for your comments and support!
Covid variant Omicron is running wild in Sweden at the moment (luckily with limited effects on life and health so far), so no build meeting last Saturday and with hindsight I would have had a difficult time to finish this build until that meeting anyway. It's still not quite finished, but getting there...
You know that feeling when everything you've prepared just falls into place?! Well, if there is a kit where this could happen, this is it! This is a fantastic kit that you can't go wrong with - unless you try to be clever and add details that later on clash with Eduard's perfectly sound instructions... ::) One part which really wows is the top deck. Over in his Camel thread Frank mentions that is just clicks into place and it sure does.
If you remember from earlier on, I added a bit of PC in order to run the control lines through. Good idea, but it did obstruct the sturdy rear locating pins that ensure the wing attaches properly. It's been sorted using a pair of brass pins and superglue. Rigging has been started as well.
(https://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image203.jpg)
Top deck and engine cowl in place but no glue used in this picture. The next pic shows both installed properly and with the machine guns in place as well. And then the bottom wing have been added.
(https://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image204.jpg)
(https://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image205.jpg)
(https://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image206.jpg)
Top wing added and it looks all lined up to my eye. Not the simplest of tasks even with this model, but not difficult either.
(https://almlof.eu/Eduard/Camel%20N6377/image207.jpg)
Main rigging completed and now it’s just control cables for ailerons, elevators and rudder left…

What a wonderful job, Fredrik -
Taking shape nicely and the markings are very eye catching.

Dave

Fredrik, your Camel looks nice and you really made good progress!
But what about your cowling? ???
I think you have not sanded the seam in the middle of the cowling.
The manual states that your making F and my D uses the same cowling D52. The problem with this parts is, that it is a double cone, so the front diameter and the back diameter are smaller. So the seam between the form halves is in the middle of the cowling. Additionally that sprue D has the the worst mould quality, at least compared to the fantastic other three.
I must admit, I was also irritated but checked then pictures of the original Camel, especially my marking: no seam there! The part look also clean in the Eduard manual. It was easy to sand away the seam.
I know, this was a bit late ... but just a hint for the future ownersbuilders of this kit.
Cheers,
Frank

AHH... Maybe it isn't too late... off to the basement in a bit. That seam was so heavy and good at the same time that I didn't think of it as a mold seam.
Thanks for mentioning it!
/F

I will post a explanation about the cowling in my build report.
Another question as you have already the main undercarriage mounted: how strong is that in mounted state?
Cheers,
Frank
-
That's looking fantastic Fredrik, I'm so excited to see it all coming together! The fact the pilot was a New Zealander has absolutely nothing to do with my interest, of course... ::)
-
Seems to build nicer then their original release which has a few fit issues .
Beautiful work so far Fredrik , looking forward to the completion .

It came off! 😀😀😀
That was a couple of days ago and then I went down with a fever... More progress once I've recovered.
Take care!

Look after yourself Fredrik, I'm happy to wait until you're back on your feet :)
-
So, like so many others I fell victim to Covid and wasn't really up to model building for a while. I have recovered and here are a couple of final pictures of my Camel. It's a great kit right out the box and then you could of course do the Frank treatment, but that's a bit out of my league. Pictures are a bit off (learning a new camera) and better ones will be shown in the completed section later.

Glad to hear you recovered from the big C, Fredrik. Your model looks extraordinarily good. The cowling fix looks perfect.

Thanks Ken and Rick! My bout of Covid wasn't that bad really... but I'm glad I got it now and not two years ago.
I've added final pictures in the completed section if you would like to see more of it.
