  Guys,
Here the latest on my Sopwith Camel project and the last for awhile as I'm putting all my efforts into The OKGB projects. As always any and all comments are welcomed and very much appreciated.

 All the decals have been applied to the fuselage.






 The Vicker's have been cleaned up and the cocking handles corrected. Parked somewhere near the correct position


   Wings with all the decals.





 Last but not least the finished prop.




 That's all for now guys,back in the boxes she goes to await the finishing. Thanks for looking.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Greg,
     Very nice and I really like the richness of the wood. This "sow's ear" kit is looking very silky under your efforts. Given the recent Camel statement from WNW I may have to bite the bullet and follow in your footsteps.
Cheers,
Lance

Hi Gregory -

It's good to see you 'back on your Camel' - I hope you'll be able to stay on long enough to finish the ride   ;D

Just today I have received a package with the updated version in the mail so your post is topical.

Looking forward to the new pics - keep it coming

Kind regards - Tug

 Bob,Tug, Rick and Lance,
I very much appreciate your most kind comments. Since moving to Killeen a year ago and joining the local hobby club my interest in modelling has returned in spades. To date this year has been my most productive in years finishing first a 1/48 Regia Aeronautica project as a test to see what I could do. Then the Nieuport 17 for the GB. These were the only new projects completed so far. However I did finally complete an old project from 2009. This one was off topic here but it was a 1/32 scale vacuform kit of a Macchi 202. Very soon I can add the Sopwith Camel to the completed project list,another old project from between strokes.

Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette
