I'm so keen to see this, but ....... despite having logged in properly seconds earlier, when I click on the image up pops the screen telling me that I need to log in/ create account etc to be able to view it.

What am I doing wrong?

Best wishes

There are more pics of it on the WNW homepage. An absolutely brilliant build! I am keen on having the WDF Modelling Special on the Camel in my hands.

Yep, it's a cracker Ray,

Very interested in the flying wires... I can't see how they stay in place without bowing with every tiny move of the model being handled...

Just for clarification- the pictures are on the Customer Models section.

A couple more photos. I used both 2 and 4 BA RAFwires from RB Productions.They need to be carefully measured and be prepared to use up several scalpel blades when trimming and cutting. The various end terminals are very fiddly and I confesss to having simplified their attachments.
They can be  prone to bending but the trick is to make them slightly underlength so no pressure is exerted between points.

Cheers,

Spectacular, Ray!  I really like how those RAF wires look.  You did an amazing job with those.  These photos make me want to start right in on mine.  Promised Edgar I'd do the FK8 first, though.  Must be patient.
Cheers,
Bud

Superb Camel, Ray.
Excellent rigging and subtle weathering - what more can you ask for?

Well done!

Love that prop! Many nice little, subtle, weathering touches that kept me pouring over the pics for a long time.
