Very nice. I like the scratching you've done, and the wood work is awesome. Nicely done.

Wow!!!Thanks all for the compliments and comments again. I am very glad to know that I can count on yours support here. My ability skills are far from yours stunning works, but I really need to continue improving, step by step, and Ill work hard for it.

Well...this is my first try to do lights and shadows. I made a pre shading on the wings and then, painted it. After this i put some tape stripes on the embossing and applied a light colour over it. This is the result.

The gun machines i painted with aluminium, and black over it. Then, with a light sanding sheets i got this effect.

Looks very nice, but I think your Vickers guns are upside down Hary!

Thanks for the warning Bo.....its a kit problem....how you can see in this pic.....they made it upside down $:-\$ . Ill try to fix it. Thanks.

Here i found another academy models finished with the vickers upside down. Definitively a Academy error.

Your PC10 and shading look great! In spite of the upside down Vickers,( Agreed that it is Academies error), You are building a great Camel!

Very fine work on the wing Hary, and your last photos show even more how beautiful and convincing your wood painting is. Well done.

Kind regards
Patrick

This is coming along very nicely Hary. Great wood effect inside and out and the gun flaw in the Kit should be an easy fix. Great to see you trying out new techniques as well; the gun and wing paint effects look great.
Cheers,
Lance

Great work on the Camel, Hary. It is coming along beautifully. The upside down
Vickers shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for pointing it out. I look forward to the
next updates.

Cheers,
Ernie

Thanks Martin!. Well my friends, i finished my first WWI. I decided not change the problem with the Vickers position, because when you told me about the problem, i had already positioned the wings with super glue. And it was a patience work, as the wires. Ill have to focus attention on next kits...looking for references before start the building. Other thing I didn't knew until now, was " the turnbuckles ". In this model i glued the wires following the manual. Well.... Id like to thanks all of you for the comments. Means a lot of incentive for me....a great encouragement to keep going on.
Thanks Guys!!!!!

For your first WW1 aircraft build you have done an admirable job Hary, the finish on this model is excellent with great colours and very good wood work. Your decal applications appears to be very well done, the only tiny criticism I could see was that some of your rigging lines are a little slack, apart from that very small point the model is a credit to you and a great stepping stone towards your next WW1 aircraft model, congratulations and well done.

Des.
