Or another interesting Camel would be one of the Camel pilot writers, Victor Yeates. They got Arthur G. Lee's Pup, so why not?           -M

Yeate's Winged victory,wonderful book! It was passed round the pilots of fighter command, commanding £5 a copy,as the only book on fighting worth reading.Cundalls camel would be worth modelling,and what about Cecil Lewis's Morane Parasol from Capricorn rising?

Breadner's and Barker's kites seem to be crowd pleasers, as well.
Zac, your wish list is almost identical to mine.

My personal Camel-wish-list contains some colourful trainers, twin-seaters and also a version in USAS markings - apart from the Comic, actually!
Teasers for the twin-seater:

Great minds think alike...and so do we 

I imagine the Jenny, Standard and DH.4 would do great business with US modellers.

Bah...who needs WNW.  The definitive Camel has been available for several years now.

Now, how ya gonna do a better pre-shading than that?

[KiwiZac]

I saw that on the shelves a year or two back, it's criminal they let it onto the market with the lack of lower wing dihedral, not to mention the shape of the wingtips. Looks more like a bad imitation of a Pup. Disgraceful.

I would like to thank Bud and George for pointing out the difference between a comic and a comedian.

I would love to see a Camel with markings from the USS Texas. I have Revell's 1/28 scale kit and I hope to work on that once I finish the other WWI subjects that I keep getting distracted from.

Agreed...USS TEXAS. That is the diorama my Pup build was a warm up for.

Really? Is it in this forum. I'll like to see it. Every time I visit the U.S. Naval Aviation Museum I stare at their Camel in Texas' markings. I don't know why it looks so interesting.

I think it is Snoopy in the cockpit-- seriously, neat color- light grey w/ red-white-blue National Stars, large lettering, some exposed plywood, shinny cowl and all the stuff on the "deck" ...
