Always a pleasure to see what Ed does to those old 28th Revell kits. This one's new to me, fantastic work, as ever, thanks for posting Rick.
Cheers,
Tony.

"Thank you Patrick.  I did carve it, bolts and nuts are added one at a time."


That makes it even more fantastic Ed. Lovely work!

Kind regards
Patrick

   The carved prop is exceptional Ed, in fact it's perfect! I carve most of my own and never quite master the carving and shaping in close to the hub; you aced this one and then some. Lovely Camel.
Cheers,

Thanks, Nigel, Ernie and Rick!  I can't believe how much I enjoyed this build.  I want to do a standard F.1 now.  Maybe the Blue Max kit with a few enhancements.
Cheers,
Bud

Hi Bud,

Many congratulations again. This is such a nice and great build. I am still admiring the prop, wonderful color! As usual the finish is just perfection and the scheme is superb. I liked following your log. Well done my friend!

Kind regards
Patrick

Thank you, Patrick!  I'm glad you enjoyed the build log.  It was a fun project.  If WNW produces a Comic, I will definitely buy it.
Cheers,
Bud

Hello, Bud -

Missed this one while I was away - another brilliant job from the master of 1/48th scale!
