Hello all

My first WW1 biplane completed...pretty frustrating kit to build but worth it in the end...I think!

Comments / suggestions welcome

Well done on your first completion Allan, despite all the frustrations! That's one under your belt. What's next?

WOW!  That's a great-looking Camel.   Very nicely done Allan!  I just completed this kit myself a couple of months ago, and it does require some extra effort.   Great start to your collection!

Cheers,

Hello Allan:

Nicely done Camel.  This kit turns out well with a little TLC and you have provided the TLC and have a great looking model.

  Very impressive work for your first stringbag Allan, and from a less then optimum Kit as well! If WNW doesn't soon provide one I'll be following in your footsteps on this Kit, got to have a Camel.
Nicely done!
Cheers,

That is one beautiful Camel! Your efforts in overcoming the build frustration were certainly worthwhile to my eyes!!!

Congratulations Allan on completing this model, despite being your first WW1 biplane build and a less than perfect kit you have produced an excellent result. The model looks all the part a real Camel with a beautiful overall finish and great rigging, I hope this build will lead to many more WW1 aeroplanes from you, well done Allan.

Allen,

The only suggestion I would give is stop building such great WW1 aircraft models ........................

Seriously, nothing wrong with and to me it looks pretty striking actually.  What is going to be your next project?

Great job on the Camel, Allan.  I have one of the Academy Camels in my stash
and when I get to it, I really hope it turns out as well as yours. Very nicely done!

Cheers.

Hello all

Many thanks for the kind comments.

I just followed Des' great build log and crossed my fingers...!

Next on the bench is either a WNW Sopwith Tri-plane or the Encore SE5a 'McCudden'....

Hi Allan,
