Sopwith Camel (Barker`s) Eduard 1/48
« on: July 27, 2015, 07:49:48 AM »
Hello!
I`ve finished her ;) The Vickers guns are Part`s the rest is out of the box plus some minor scratch building. The prop is carved.
I really enjoyed this one though due to lack of time it took quite a long...










Best regards
Filip

Filip -

I've built the same model in exactly the same markings in the past!

Yours is a truly excellent result - fantastic Camel.

She's truly stunning, Filip!  This is my favorite rendition of Barker's Camel and you've done a spectacular job.  Must do a Camel build in the very near future.
Cheers,
Bud

Outstanding Filip.  :)
As Bud said, my favorite Camel markings too and one I will do on Wingnut's kit (hopefully soon  :) )
Yours is a great standard to attempt to emulate, thank you.  :)

A terrific example of the Camel! Excellent work all around from construction to finish. The figures posed with the Camel are outstanding examples of what can be accomplished in 1/48th.

Wonderful model, especially the propellor which can be difficult to get to look right. The b&w photos make it look very authentic. Well up to the usual very high standard that comes off your bench.

Great Camel in attractive markings
The Eduard model is the most realistic on the market
And you added realism with your talent
