I am still not sure that you have not substituted a full scale replica in some of your photographs, especially the outdoor ones. I am also not entirely convinced that this is not much larger than 1/48 scale.

I am lost for words to describe what I really feel about hits one - brilliant will have to do.

Thank you very much for all the nice comments about this Camel! Highly appreciated!

Stephen, you can trust me - it is not the 1/28 kit!
For confirmation here is a comparison to my hand:

You can't fool me, Frank: I've seen Weta Workshop's larger-than-life figure work before and I know their craft when I see it!  ;D

I only wish you could experience it in person: I was skeptical as we were queuing but once inside was moved to tears.

Hi Frank,
That's a highly detailed and well presented model of an RNAS colour scheme.
Great stuff  :D
