I have always fancied doing a 1000th Ruston Proctor Camel, B-7380. I find myself with a Hobby Craft 1/32 Camel, Kit # HC 1681. It comes with markings for the early version of Barker's Camel and the Camel in the Imperial War museum. (F-6314 B-6313)
While I am by no means ready to start, I have been prowling the web and saving images, but my research is rusty. So before I go put any serious time and effort into this, is there anything about this kit that would be an obvious error that should have been corrected if I were to paint it like B-7380? I guess the most obvious thing being the engine. I don't recall enough to say which one the kit has and which one B-7380 had. I also do not know if B-7380 had been fitted with guns yet when it was gussied up for the ceremony marking the 1000th RP Camel, which is how I want to portray it as to my understanding, they didn't wait long before they slapped a coat of PC-10 on it and sent it off to war.
Any info and pointers would be most appreciated.
