Hary, this is a GREAT build in all points a view. Great painting (your wood painting is extra), shading, detailing and decal setting. Many congratulations. Great modeling!

Kind regards
Patrick

That's a beautiful Camel, Hary. The overall finish and appearance is very pleasing, and you can certainly be proud of this one. This is a nice kit but not extremely easy to build. You have do every well indeed!

Next time out, give a try a rigging with turnbuckles per the tutorial on the main site. It sounds a bit intimidating, but with a little experience it becomes second nature. Just make sure you have two good pair of tweezers--those tiny tubes are way to small for my thick fingers!

Cheers,

Bob

Hary,
Very, very nice work for your first WWI Build. The various unique techniques such as rigging etc. come together very quickly, and with your painting and detailing skills shown here you are miles down the road to success. Nicely done, and enjoy your next Build!
Cheers,
Lance

For your first WW1 aircraft build you have done an admirable job Hary, the finish on this model is excellent with great colours and very good wood work. Your decal applications appears to be very well done, the only tiny criticism I could see was that some of your rigging lines are a little slack, apart from that very small point the model is a credit to you and a great stepping stone towards your next WW1 aircraft model, congratulations and well done.

Des.

I think Des has said it very well! A very good FIRST WW1 model! I am looking forward to your next effort!!!!

Thank you Guys!!!
The lines i used for the rigging, came with the kit. After the rigging, they did stretched, but one day after, they slack $:-\$ . But next time for sure ill use the Turnbuckles. I saw a tutorial here on the forum that teach how to make a turnbuckles, that ill follow. And i bought the WNW EZ-line rigging with my WNW model that is coming. But before i start the WNW, this next week ill start a Nieuport 17- 1/32 - Academy for training the new turnbuckles rigging techniques, as that a little more training with the paint and wash too.

Thanks to all for accompanying!!!!

Hary,

Unbelievable good work for your first WW1 biplane! Your rib shading and wood painting are excellent.

I just hope you don't mind me pointing out that it looks (from the photos) as though you may have installed the landing gear on back to front unfortunately ........

Regards

Dave

Fantastic job, Hary! Especially considering it's your first WWI aeroplane. I wish my first look this good.

Great job Hary!

One thing I learned about WWI aircraft models, is you learn very quickly. I think we are all our own strongest critics - I know very well where I could do better with mine. Plus it is not your fault if the kit and the instructions have errors! Without doubt, your next kit will see you applying the lessons you have learned along the way.

Meanwhile, you've got a good looking model there!

Hello Hary:

I think you have done an admirable job with this kit. It is your first, and your modeling skills in the work you do is eveident. Your wood work, shading techniques, etc. Each one is a learning experience and your next kit will be your best.
Looking forward to the Nieuport.

Best

Mark
