Sopwith Camel, 1/48 Eduard

[Bughunter]

Sopwith Camel  



My first finished model of 2022 is the new tooled Sopwith Camel by Eduard in 1/48.
I used also a lot of accessories. Yes, it's a great kit! And I really the new kind of decals printed by Eduard.

The pilot was Walter George Raymond Hinchliffe, the commander of the C-Flight of the 10 Squadron of the RNAS.

And now have fun with the pictures!
































If you liked my little Camel, then hit the keys! Criticism is also welcome, of course, as we want to improve.

Cheers,
Frank

You've certainly started the year off right. Another beauty from your workbench.

   My oh my Frank, what a magnificent model! The colors are brilliant and the finish beautifully done. Having followed your Build Log closely I am again in awe of your additions, detailing, and ability to produce such remarkable results in small scale.
Congratulations on a very fine bit of work!
Cheers,

What can I say... The colours, the rigging, all the details you have added, weathering on the underside... All this makes it the best Camel model I have ever seen.

You made another beauty, Frank. A sure reference for any further build of the new Eduard Camels.

Outstanding.

Frank...truly a spectacular model and to borrow the oft-used phrase "We're not worthy". I bow down to your simply outstanding model which brings out the very best in Eduard's new tool Camels.

I had to remind myself this is 1/48 scale, all the more reason to heap praise upon you because the level of fine detail is breathtaking.

Thanks so much for showing us this absolute jewel of a model.

Following this build was a delight, an inspiration and very aspirational. I've never been the world's biggest Camel fan but you've inspired me to get one, albeit the older tool. Thank you for sharing this build in such detail for those contemplating a build of this beautiful kit.

Congratulations. She is utterly stunning.

A superb finish, Frank!  One cannot tell what scale it is, or even that it is a model.  I like the outdoor pictures - a good setting for the photos.

[Dirigible-Al]

This has been an inspiration. The outdoor pictures look like 1/4 scale rather than 1/48!
