When I find some time, I will compile the photos into one PDF and with James's permission put the file up for download.

Cheers,
Bob

Thanks very much for posting these images James - oh were they available a week or three back  ;) but they are still of immense help in what is left to do on my current build

Much appreciated indeed

After seeing these superb photos it sorta makes me wish that Wingnuts would hurry up and release their Camel kit  ;) ;)

Great Photos, Thanks !! Did you get a close up of the plate at the top of the cowl ??

And I can see what at least one of the markings in the WNW kit will be.

Thanks for posting these, James. Although I'm primarily a 72nd scale modeller I will have to buy the WNW kit as the Camel is my all-time favourite WW1 aircraft and I may well need to refer to these photos.

Messenger pigeon dispatched to Jamo: any bets on whether she will make an appearance this weekend? I would love to see it in person.
