Sopwith Camel, 1/48 Eduard, 4.2.22 The end

[kensar]

The tail looks sufficiently busy.  I see you are making extensive use of the RAF wire ends.

[KiwiZac]

Exquisite work Frank! And may I say it's great to see James' photos being used to help your project.

More modelling marvellousness. (In Deutsch: sehr Wunderbar!)

Stephen.

Thank you very much to all of you!

You continue to amaze me with this detailed build!

I just added another nice detail

I see you are making extensive use of the RAF wire ends.

You 32 builders are more lucky guys! I have only one size, in 1/32 one could use the smaller 1/48 terminals on the tail.
Anyway, better then nothing and those little buggers are smaller than my metal pipes or other solutions.

And may I say it's great to see James' photos being used to help your project.

I have not included all the used pictures here in the build report, but I have download all of them in full resolution and have always some of them open while working on specific details. Really helpful pictures!

Cheers,
Frank

First I wish I had the skill to make those control horns and fittings in 1/32nd scale. It would solve an issue I am having with the DH2  Yours are done to perfection! I don't know what part is missing but WOW, is that Camel Gorgeous!!

Sorry Frank but doctoring James' photo of the pipes on the front strut and trying to pass it off as your model will not do...!

What a model indeed - and the prop is still not fitted!! Is it 1/24 scale by any chance?

Stephen.

Absolutely stunning, I’m speechless 


No expensive PR campaign could make better commercial for this kit.

Incredible execution!!

It's one thing to see James' photos of these delicate-seeming details and tremendous craftsmanship (or, as I've been extremely fortunate, to see them in person) but to translate them into model form...and in 1/48...now that's something special. Frank, all that pipework and rigging is truly inspirational and aspirational.

No expensive PR campaign could make better commercial for this kit.

Hear hear!

[Bughunter]

Thank you very much, to each one of you!

First I wish I had the skill to make those control horns and fittings in 1/32nd scale.

As I mentioned the control horns itself are from the PE set of PART. I made them only a bit thicker with tin and a soldering iron.

Is it 1/24 scale by any chance?

Stephen, as far as I know Eduard has not any 1/24 scale aircraft model in the portfolio, so this must be 1/48

- and the prop is still not fitted!!

Stephen.

Now How did I miss that!

Rick, you made my day!
That's how we humans are - the obvious is often overlooked.

No expensive PR campaign could make better commercial for this kit.

I think Eduard is aware of this fact

It's one thing to see James' photos of these delicate-seeming details and tremendous craftsmanship (or, as I've been extremely fortunate, to see them in person) but to translate them into model form...and in 1/48...now that's something special.

If I know "what" I have to replicate, then I can also find a "how". But nothing works without references.

Cheers,
Frank

The prop is absolutely Gorgeous Frank!

beautifully done (whole project)

[PrzemoL]

Gran finale. Top notch, as all this build.

Well done throughout, Frank! And as always a fantastic build report as well. Truly inspirational!
