Here is the final product of my double build:
Clerget Camel from Duellists boxing with decals donated by Boggie (thanks a lot, mate) depicting the a/c flown by HG Watson in the spring of 1918 in 4th AFC Sqn
and
Bentley Camel flown by KM Murray in Polish 7th Kosciuszko Squadron - the famous American volunteers group, in 1920 during the hard fighting in the Soviet-Polish war.

Watson's



















Murray's

Thank you, everybody.

Still, there is a need for erratum:

what I did with windscreens was a complete nonsense! It was rightly indicated to me by Buzby - thank you my friend. So here is the corrected version of windscreen installation

Hey Prze.  :)

Who says PC 10/12 is boring?   ;D

A beautiful pair of Camels indeed.

Very talented modelling!

Alby BII next?

Thank you, Boggie, I am glad you like the Camels. And:

Who says PC 10/12 is boring?   ;D

these are my sentiments, exactly! For me PC10 is one of most pleasant and modeller-friendly colours, and is very fine for shading.

And finally, as for Alb B.II, unfortunately this project has still to wait for a special set of aftermarket bits, which I need for my planned scheme.
Currently, I have started working on something different than WNW. I hope to show some details soon in the appropriate section of this forum. ;-)

G'day Prze.

"Special aftermarket bits", that sounds intriguing!  I'm sure the wait will be worth it.  :)

And something different! I'm still intrigued! Looking forward to whatever it is.  :)

There are no secrets with those aftermarket pieces. Melius Manu announced several times in FB that they were working on the upgrade to late B.II / B.IIa with top wing radiator, dual controls, modified struts and decals for some fine Polish post-war schemes. This is what I am waiting for.

As for my new project, let me keep it secret for some time yet. I will only tell that I am currently cleaning some fine resin parts :)

Two very nice Camels! I like the clean builds and you take advantage of the big scale.

Cheers,
