Oh that is excellent, are the wires stretched sprue? I had difficulty removing the excess EZline on mine. Love the weathering, looks like its had some good use. Enjoying this!

I have progressed. The wood panels had a VERY thin coat of Tamiya Clear Orange mixed with Clear Yellow sprayed on. I also applied the Hammered/Turned Metal to the appropriate panels. The upper Deck and Cowl are positioned for the photos:

Really Rick this just gets better with every update. It seems to me that your short break last year has given you inspiration and energy - just wish I could share with it!!!

Thanks Stephen. Yes I am pretty inspired on this one. It won't be the best Camel Build on this site but I am pleased with My Progress! Just glued all of the top decking panels in place and now with a bit of touch up I am ready to move on to the overall scheme.

Thanks Richie. All is now in place except for the Cowling which is placed in position.

Hoping to get to this stage over the weekend.
I'm going to avoid the turned finish and and anymore wood grain on mine. There might be a famous Canadian ace standing by it. There will be black paint too. ;)

I am looking forward to seeing an update in your thread! I hope to at least prime the wings and remainder of the fuselage this weekend  8)

Nice progress on the metall and the rest of the fuselage. I like these Camels more and more when I see such pictures.
