Hi friends,

When I took the pictures of the "Bataille" I also ( in a hurry, because I was in forbidden territory) took some pictures of some other aircrafts. Although hastily, there are a lot of pictures. So I will post some from time to time. Thank you for looking and I hope you will enjoy them. But they are no more than supplementary on the beautifull pictures of Philippe.

Kind regards
Patrick

Sopwith Camel

Voisin

Caudron

And one for Des

More next time.....

Supplementary you say Patrick but they are no less useful to duffers like me. Oh that lovely dented Camel cowling and the bothersome acorn above the machine guns. How on earth will I manage that? The first two photos also give me a queasy feeling. In making my Eduard Camel pretty much from the box I'm stalled, if you forgive the pun, because I bashed on and blissfully ignored a problem I suspected was there: what seemed to be indefeasibly large gaps all round between the kit ailerons and the main structures of the wings. Your photos show that I will have to correct it some how.

Thanks for the photos.

Best wishes
Nigel

Hello Nigel,

I am glad that the photos could be of some use to you. And that is the idea of posting them. To help the fellow members with their builds if neccessary and possible. Yes it's a beautiful aircraft and some day I wil certainly give it a try. But then I have to live long enough. And my possibilities in that view are becoming smaller and smaller.

Kind regards
Patrick

Some great details in those photos, Patrick, thanks much for sharing. The fairings on the front of the vickers are an interesting detail I hadn't noticed before in other photos I have seen of this Camel.

Thanks Patrick! Those closeups of the Camel will be helpful with my current build.

Regards,

Bob

Many thanks for the photos, especially the Camel, Patrick! As Bo mentioned, the
ones of the Vickers are very helpful. But then again so are the rest. Well done, my
friend!

Cheers,
Ernie

Hi Ernie,

Thank you dear friend, I'm almost at the end of the voyage. A Schreck (waterplane) and Maurane Saulnier interbellum and a few very oldies and a few guns.

Kind regards
Patrick

Great pics Patrick - but the "DH4" isn't - it's a Bristol Fighter with a differant engine!
It's also hard to believe that any mod could have made the RE8 even more ugly than it was originally - but fitting that Hispano-Suiza engine certainly acheived it!

Indeed Ian, my excuses for that mistake!

Kind regards

Now come on Ian, any more of this sort of talk and I'll be starting the 'Harry Tate' appreciation society. Even if I were to be the only member!

Thanks for the photos Patrick.
