After 12 pages some pieces of plastic are converted into a great looking checkered Camel! What a great show!

I am looking forward to the final pictures after mounting and rigging.

Cheers,
Frank

Very nice, Terri. An impressive finish overall, and I particularly like the weathering on the fuselage bottom. The oil channel and its immediate vicinity get that spray and staining just right, I think.

Yesterday I started making the eyelets and started fixing them in place until my eyes got sore . So I finished that off this morning and few of the rigging lines are in place for the cab struts . Time to get the top wing in place now .

Terri,
I can’t add anything more than what RAGIII said. It’s looking great.

Thank-you very much guys ! :)

Okay , I didn't make it as far as I was planning on getting done this weekend . Mojo really isn't there at the moment . Cab struts are fixed in place while the top wing is just resting in place . I will leave this to fully dry before gluing the top wing in place and the rest of the struts .

looking great, Terri!

Glad to see this one getting towards the finish line. Colorful RFC/RAF machines are pretty rare, and make a nice change --- much as I appreciate P.C. 10....

Thanks guys  :)

I did try and sit in front of the bench tonight and was planning on getting the top wing fixed in place . After breaking off all the cab struts . Only glued to back in place and figured ... you know what ... that's enough for tonight before I make a real mess out it .

More progress will come tomorrow  :)
