Ernest Mantels Camel

Camel in Belgian colours. All sprayed on except the seagull image. The figure is from CSM and fits the kit perfectly. Think I’ll do my AEG next.

Lovely looking Camel, MM  8)
Can you share your choice of paint and call out the exact colours for the roundels? I'm doing the captured Pfalz DXII and like you I want to spray 90% of the markings.

Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
BvB

Hi Bob. I used Tamiya acrylics for the roundels. They are just the basic xf colours without mixing. They look ok to me. The PC10 is a mix of several colours. Just kept mixing till I liked the colour. Couldn’t tell you what’s in it anymore. The silver is the new Tamiya lacquer range silver and the purple is a lacquer from sms (which sprays really well). Looking forward to seeing your XII.

Very nice clean build.  Even the numbers on the rudder are sprayed? Impressive!

I agree with Gary - nice to see a Camel in different markings. That is a truly super finish, the more so as most of it was painted.

Very nice.  I like the purple?/lavender? cowling.  It's a little different, eye catching.

Hi Paul, it’s an acrylic lacquer from SMS called Magenta.

A very nice Camel in an even more fine colour scheme.
