I don't normally go for Camels but this is a beautiful build! That finish is absolutely superb, and your cockpit is an inspirational piece of work.

One could never tell that you have been having problems with this. The finish all round is just first class.

Thanks,

Little more done. Seems to be going slowly...

Not my usual method of rigging (Bob's Buckles) as it didn't have turnbuckles as such - so I've drilled through the wings and struts at certain strategic points and will be pulling the monofilament through with a spot of CA. Hope it works!





I'm using a slightly thicker line than usual - 0.17mm - slightly overscale but it looks better for some reason (to me anyway).


Top wing next!

Really looking great - in the home stretch!

For my part I am using very short "buckles" for the rigging on my Camel - I rationalize it as though it did not have turnbuckles there was at least the "terminal" on each end of the RAF wire to tighten etc. - your solution is probably a better one for an accurate look though....

Re: WNWs Ship's Camel finished (sort of)

Thanks Petrov...

I suddenly seem to have finished  ::)





List of errors as long as my arm. I always want to bin my models lately and start afresh. I'll give it a couple of days and see if I'll push on and make the deck and figure...

It looks fantastic to me - congrats on getting it wrapped up!

Question - regarding the PC10 edging onto the undersurface of the wings and tail plane - is it now thought that edging on the Camel did not go around the entire wing, just the front edge to the ailerons? I was about to mask my Camel build off with edging around the entire wing (and horizontal tail surface) but maybe that the wrong way to go?

   The "bin"??!? I hope not Guy, she's a beauty! I hope there's some good response to Petrov's "wrap over" question, something learned here daily, marvellous. :)
Cheers,
Lance

It's just the way I chose to depict it Petrov...

I'm sure it probably goes all the way round.

 Guy,
What an outstanding Ships Camel my old friend. I'm impressed enough with your beautiful bird I may break down and order one of these gems for myself. My deepest congratulations and a hearty Well Done.
Highest Regards,

That sheen on the cowling... I'm sure it's easily explained, but I find it mesmerising! :) A very cool look.
Beautiful model!
