Roden 1/72 Sopwith F.1/3 Comic

[ScottJ]

Yup, another kit that's been loitering around on my shelf for years... When I built this I had no references on the Sopwith Comic interceptors so I had to take Roden at their word that this is the correct color scheme for the aircraft based at Sutton's Farm.  Other than some details in the cockpit (which is so small there's no way to see inside) and replacing some oversized parts (gun sights, brace for Lewis gun rails) the kit is pretty much OOB.

Thanks for taking a look...

Nice and tidy build. Thanks for sharing!

Nice one, Scott.
I don't think I've seen this scheme actually modelled before. Makes a great change from the usual dark green Comics.

Another cracker Scott
(and a timely reminder that I have a few unbuilt Camels on the shelf)

Another lovely build, you are making great work of these Roden kits which are not without their challenges....

A very nice representation of the Camel without the hump and looking better than the dark camo of the night fighters.
Very well done Scott!

[Bluesfan]

Very nice indeed! I hope I can do at least half as well on mine in due course.

A question: how did you approach fabricating the acorn?? And getting it into position?
I've done it on an old Academy Camel, but it was very fiddly(!) I used a tiny blob of plastic, and v thin wire sections.

Lovely work Scott! For some reason the Comic makes the Camel look so much nicer to me and this is a terrific version!

That's a really nice Comic Camel, Scott -

 Very tidy work

Another great build, Scott! I have an old late Sixties (Snoopy-vintage) Revell 1:28 Camel that I’ve always thought about turning into a Comic, and I might have finally found the scheme I’ve been waiting for…. What else do you have hiding on the shelves??

And Mark, my son Curt is finishing a Roden 1:72 Camel done as Black Prince, and he’s doing the acorn with a bit of styrene rod—we figured it as 6.75” in 1:1, give or take 0.5”—shaped by hand and some Uschi rigging line. I’ll see if I can get some pictures if he pulls it off.

Thanks Dutch, I'll look forward to seeing that! 
Myself I'm not a top modeller, but I've always thought, rendering the acorn on a small scale Camel gives one minor hero status!

Nicely done.  I enjoy out of the ordinary paint schemes when possible.

Hi Scott,
That's a nice model especially in that small scale.
Too small for me, but I did modify a Wingnut Wings 'Camel' kit to a 'Comic',
