Great show Andreas! Love the 'engine'...

Where is the figure holding his hat from?

Thanks for the reply Andreas , it is cool ! Nice simple method for mounting it as well . I take it you just super glued this or did you use epoxy . i have micromagnets from a few left over Tamiya builds .

Beautiful job on the Pup , she will set those figures of wonderfully  :)

One thing I dislike with this otherwise very fine kit are the wheels. The wheel hubs are too thick in my opinion and the tyres don‘t look like tyres because there‘s too less space between hub and tyre. I can’t explain it better.[...] Besides of that I rebuild axle and splint with brassrod.


Excellent improvement and just at the right time for me to 'steal' the idea! 😎 If I dare... It looks very petit that hub detail.

This set me thinking, the WNW Camel comes with extra wheels (if you build a "late" one) that look remarkably like Pup or Triplane wheels. I just did a small comparison, and they appeae to be the same size and imho look much better than those in the Pup/Triplane kit (they share the same sprue).
However, they do not have that gorgeous axle detail you made :)

Thank you very much gentlemen for your very kind comments. I really appreciate them.

Kent, it’s a Kellerkind resin figure:

They release quite fascinating new figures frome time to time besides of the older, better known ones.

Jeroen, thanks for the hint, I didn’t check my Camel boxes carefully enough to realize the extra wheels.

Best regards,
Andreas
