Des,
She's still one beautifully built Camel my old friend. Love those Canadian marking.

I love your Camel! I won`t elaborate on your modelling skills cause it`s something beyond doubt... It`s one of the most "fancy" colour schemes for Camel and one of my favourite!

Here's my Camel - Eduard 1/48. This was built back in 2006 and was only my second WW1 model - I was very much still learning the skills of the trade.... :)

Judging by this Model, Brad, the "learning curve" of the skills of the trade was both steep and high; you certainly climbed it very successfully..........beautiful work!

This is my Academy 1/32nd Sopwith Camel. I was inspired by Des Build. I used the kit decals and parts from various other 1/32nd kits. Overall I am pleased with the build. I didn't do the extensive mods that Des did, but overall it turned out well. I should have checked my references before applying the decals. Oh well. Here it is.

Des, Brad & Mark, what a beautiful collection of Camels! Each and every one is superb in every
sense of the word. Thanks for sharing your efforts guys.
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
A lovely looking Camel Mark, you have done extremely well with the overall finish.
As I have said before, the Academy 1:32 scale Camel has been unfairly criticised over the years, it has it's faults but with a bit of work it builds up to be a really nice looking model. Dig them out of your stash guys and lets see what you can do with them :) ;)
Des.

Well, I guess I missed this one totally in the beginning! I am glad Mark added his Beautiful Camel so I could see the first two! Well done on all 3 guys, the work we have come to expect from your benches!!

Looks great Mark! I have the same kit, and I'd like to get to it sometime. How did the decals behave for you?
Lindsay

Lovely Camels! I must build one of my own someday.

Hello Des, Brad and Mark,
These beautiful Camels are another example that great modelers can accomplish magnificent models with any kit or in any scale. Many congratulations.
Kind regards
Patrick

Hello Lindsay:
Decals went on just fine, settled right down for me. I just wish I had checked references rather than trust the instructions. I still like it. It is the Revell 1/28th kit scaled down.
Thanks for stopping by.
Mark

Very nice models. Congrats for those jewls.

Very fine builds, Des, Brad and Mark.

Wonderful Camel, Przemo. How did you do the woodgrain on the top
deck and cockpit side. It looks amazing, my friend!
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
Thanks, Ernie.
The wood is my standard approach - airbrushed base (Pactra Mid Stone), grains painted with brush (a mix of Mid Stone and Brown), then several thin coats of airbrushed Clear Orange.
-
Another great build in 1/72 Przemo. Colorful bird, outstanding woodparts and rigging as always outstanding. Congrats
Kind regards
Patrick

Goodness me PrzemoL. You 1/72 guys putting me to shame again!

Ditto to my Amigos comment, again , hard to believe it is 1/72.

Prez if I didn't read the title I would swear you ventured into the giant scale! You are the master of 1/72nd scale in my book!

In total agreement, Prez's Camel would be superb in one of the larger scales, but in 1/72nd - absolutely jaw-dropping.
Here's mine (Eduard) in the much more comfortable 48th scale:

Lovely pair of Camels, Brez. The Comic is particularly eye catching, very nicely done and something a little different.
Nice to see some of your work.

Beautiful pair of Camels, Brez. As one that has failed miserably on the Eduard version,
I admire even more your superb model. Well done!
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
Extremely nice Camels Brez. I like the engine cowling and weathering very much. Congratulations.
Kind regards
Patrick
-
As one that has failed miserably on the Eduard version,
I have to admit Ernie, I did too. My first attempt on the Eduard Camel was just horrible. Nothing fitted, it seemed like I was trying to cram more and more into too small a space and in the end I binned it. Never got round to the rigging. "Wonga Bonga", the second attempt, was like building a different kit. I guess I was aware of the pitfalls but it went together so much easier.
Cheers,
Tony.
-
When I discovered that I had missed so many of these gorgeous Camels, I decided that I'd better wait till I had a day off to properly respond to what I consider 5 equally stunning models.
Brad, this little beauty is one of the finest Camels I had ever seen, proving beyond a doubt that you were meant to build in this genre.
Mark, like Des, you took this old nag of a kit and made her look like a thoroughbred. Truly remarkable work, buddy.
Prez, as always, you make 1/72 scale look easy. Your wood grain and overall finish is spectacular. This looks like what a WNW Camel would look like.
Tony, last but not least, you know how I feel about your Comic, mate. So glad you finally posted her here. Truly incredible work, from the Holt flares to the NIVO scheme. I'm getting close to finishing mine and I can only hope that she turns out half as fine. As for Wonga Bonga, she's perfect in every way. I love the comparison between the F.1 and the Comic. I think the Comic has more of a brutal look to her.
Thank you all for posting these lovely kites.
Cheers,
Bud

Absolutely stunning, Amigo! This is one I haven't seen yet. A perfect stable mate for your amazing scratch-built Tripe. Thanks for posting.
Cheers,
Bud

Many Thanks to my 2 Amigos, Rick for posting and both your and Bud's kind compliments.
YES, it is the decal that was offered to the entire membership as a Special Product, till the supply ran out. (SCALEMASTER Limited Run) They
sometimes appear on e-bay. There are 1/28 markings for Cobby's Camel, Von Wedel's Dr-I and Guynemer's SPAD XIII;
plus stenciling.
The instruments, Petro tank (gravity & pressure) stenciling, prop/ machine gun warning instructions on the cowl are photo reductions of originals on Ciba-chrome paper .
The Charlie Chaplin figure decal is applied per the original- painted on a pieces of tin and applied to the fuselage sides along with 2 signs that he liberated from English Trains of " Caution it is dangerous to lean out the windows" on the port side and "Do Not Spit" on the starboard side above the figures. Also there were 3 sights , an Aldis( you can see the end in the middle picture) with a small ring and bead sight atop the Aldis and a larger ring and bead above the Right gun(bottom picture)

Hi Ed,
Absolutely fabulous build. If I may lift of one of the many splendid things : the propeller is gorgeous.
Kind regards
Patrick
-
More Great Camels:
Thanks Bud for your kind words, duly appreciated.
Prez: Again, your work in 1/72nd truly amazing. I just marvel at it.
DRI Ace: It is neat to see the old Revell bird all dressed up so nicely. Outstanding workmanship.
Brez: Great pair of Camels. The "Comic" looks loaded for bear, like a real warrior, of course Wonga Bonga looks the part as well. I have never built an Eduard kit, but it sounds like these are a bit of a struggle. Outstanding work.
Best
Mark

The carved prop is exceptional Ed, in fact it's perfect! I carve most of my own and never quite master the carving and shaping in close to the hub; you aced this one and then some. Lovely Camel.

Camels part one.
Some more 1/48 old-timers. Apologies if they've been seen elsewhere before.
Mostly Blue Max, with a bit of Aurora/Merit/Smer here and there.
These were built before the advent of the Eduard Camels so no easy decal options, mostly hand painted.
(I used to be a real masochist - the old Aurora Gotha drove me cross-eyed hand-painting night lozenge!)
Sandy
-
Camels part two
... and another couple of Tommy's finest.
The Trondheim 2F1 came out well but the Ruston-Proctor was a disaster. I hand painted all the markings and then used a "permanent" marker pen for the black lines. Only when I applied the final varnish coat did I learn that "permanent" meant something different to Staedler than it did to me. Please forgive the blurry lines :(
Sandy
-
They might be old, Mac, but they are a very pretty collection. Nicely done markings, hand painting isn't easy and has become largely a lost art. Thanks for posting and sharing these little gems, a real pleasure to view them!
Cheers,
Lance
-
Wow! Beautiful!
Drew

I remember all of these beauties from the List, Sandy, and all are as gorgeous and inspiring as I remember. It was your Comic that created within me an obsession for the type. Your Black Mike and Trondheim kites sent me to ebay in search of those markings in the newer Eduard kits. What you did with those older kits is truly remarkable. Thank you for posting them here, mate.

Thanks, Chris! It's the Blue Max conversion kit for the Eduard Camel. They're pretty much sold out (even Freightdog is out of 'em), but Hannant's still has 3.

It's a nice kit and a fun build. You'll want to replace the kit guns with a pair from Gaspatch.

Wonderful Bud, a magnificent job! I've done two of these and have 3 (or is it 4?? :o) in the Stash and so far no issues with the decals however I keep hearing about problems with them. The scheme you chose is one of the more attractive out there and you've really done it justice. My compliments on a beautiful model.

That's an eye-catching livery - and model. Well done, Bud.

Beautifully done as always Amigo! Colorful scheme, subtle weathering, and the upper wing is perfectly constructed and aligned!

I am planning to build at least four different versions of the Wingnut Wings Camel, and at a stretch, also a "Comic" conversion. My first project was the LeRhone version in the colours of 46 Squadron's 54 victory Canadian Ace Donald MacLaren. His badly weathered F2137 is seen in real form and then as modeled here:

and finally an overall view:

The second Camel is a Clerget version representing Flight Commander Mel Alexander's 10 Naval Squadron bird B6289. Another Canadian Ace with 23 Kills he survived the Great War and returned home to Toronto where he enjoyed a long and successful life.

Both are Beautiful examples of superb Modeling Lance! The peeled paint on the first was brilliant work!

Rick and Lance - superb additions to this thread.

Just found this. Rick your Camel is a stunner. I have a great attachment to this one because I was shadowing your build with my own Camel that remains on the shelf for now.
Lance, your peeled paint is utterly convincing and your Clerget Camel is another really classy build. I only recently learned that there were so many great Canadian WW1 aces. Your builds are a fitting tribute to them.

Just catching up !
Do not know how I missed Bud's Camel in Sept- Wonderful, sure I commented when it was in the Completed Section (?)
Lance and Rick, both Beautiful work !

Sopwith 2F.1 Ship's Camel - HMS Furious, July 1918
This is an old model from my 1/48 days. Apologies to members of Allan Wright's wwi list who will have seen this before but if it's OK with Dave W, I thought I'd give them a new home - and something for me to attempt to better now in 1/32. Subject is N6605, which took place in the hugely successful raid on the airship sheds at Tondern. It was flown by Lt NE Williams who had to land in Denmark where man and machine were interned till the end of the war.

Sopwith F.1/3 'Comic' Camel - 44 Squadron RAF, Hainault Farm
Another of my old 1/48 models. B4614 was flown by LT WE Nicholson and painted in the curious shade of green developed by the family paint business of one of the pilots.
-
Sopwith F.1 Camel - 28 Squadron RAF, Florence 1919
Another old 1/48 model with some tauro chequer decals but mostly hand painted. Post war the pilots of 28 Sqdn went to town with colourful individual markings!
-
Sopwith F.1 Camel - "Ruston 1000th"
Another old kit. Unfortunately my carefully applied markings were ruined when my use of a black sharpie caused bleeding under the varnish! After all the work I was loathe to bin it, but it wasn't my best! Maybe I'll do better in 1/32.
-
Sandy,
Nice trio !

Thanks Ed, for this and the other kind comments.S

Hi all,This model represents the Sopwith F1 ‘Camel’, Serial No.B6313 (later modified version), as flown by Major William George ‘Billy’ Barker, scale build - CO of No.139 Squadron, RAF, based at Villaverla, Italy during August 1918. This model depicts the later version of B6313, when field modifications were carried out to introduce four cooling slots in the engine cowl, linen covering removed from the centre section of the upper wing and cockpit decking sides reduced or removed.

The second in an ongoing series of the olde Aurora kits I had hanging from my ceiling when I was but a lad.
WIP: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=13337.0
This is the Monogram issue from 1979 of the Aurora kit. Some scratched bits, no aftermarket. Vallejo paints with E-Z line rigging. All the control horns are scratch built, I somehow managed to break them all off.
The ubiquitous bottom shot.

I did Roy Brown's aircraft in what seems to be the generally excepted scheme on the day he encountered von Richthofen.

Lovely job Allan, another terrific example of what can be achieved with "obsolete" kits.
