Hi!

I couldn't miss this GB for Des.

I'll do the Usas Camel form Wingnut

The box:



Proof of unbuilt status:



I'm still undecided on the markings. HR Clay Jr plane or the white bat....





Soon the Wip.

Bye,

Andrew

Hi, Andrew, I am a fan of those USAS Camels, don't really know, why... Will follow your build, for sure! Both of the versions you're showing are beautiful and interesting, I think, but I‘d go for the white one. I have 2 kits of the USAS Camel in my stash, plan to do the whitey, too, and Kinley's bus. But I am afraid I will need two more USAS Camels for the „Camel“-Camel and the night-fighter. But no real problem, as I only buy and stash, but don't build my kits.

The white bat has a more distinctive look, but both these two Camels are very attractive. Will follow.

A lovely choice of subject, Andrew! One of my favourites! Strange to see so few Camels, I'm glad you're doing this one! Regards, Marc.

Let's go!

Still undecided on the scheme, but let's say 70% the "classic" Usas and 30% the white one.

I've started to prime the main assemblies.
Desert yellow acrilic for wood parts and alclad black base for metallic ones.



Usual oil work for wood. I think that later I'll add some clear orange for finishing.



Alclad Aluminium for metallic parts.
I've painted also the cowl, even if it will be painted red or white because I want to add some scratches to the paint, so I need the metal base.
And inside it's natural metal....



Some more details painted and few parts assembled.
Still needs some retouches, details, washing, dirt, rigging,  ecc....  ;)

(if you spot some white putty it's because there are some sink marks ( on WnW kit!!!  :o ) near the rearmost strut. Didn't spot them before painting



That's all

Bye

Andrea

Steve

still undecided... the white one is one of a kind,  the standard one has more material to play with... painted canvas , wood paint., bright orange number on top wing...

Hi!

Small update on the interior.

I've done the rigging. Still to finish control stick, add seatbelts and some details.
I will not go crazy on detailing the interior, as it will not be very visible.
