I love it Lance!  :)

Fabulous artistry!

The most beautiful "beat-up" model I've seen.

Congrats and a big thumbs up!   :)

A superb replication of Major MacLarens mount, your skills at applying the required amount of weathering is quite obvious in the finished model, extremely well done Lance.

Lance, this Camel seems to had a hard life, and your model shows that very exactly. Congratulation to this piece of art!

Cheers,
Frank

Whoa! I'm flattered beyond words at compliments such as these from such great model builders! Thank you all, it's so gratifying to receive confirmation of one's work, especially when trying something new and different!

Well weathered and looks the part Lance. Absolutely brilliant mate. Nice one. very impressed. Went to the dark side and built a Corsair F4u.
Awesome stuff Lance, hope all is well up there in Canada. Your weather should be getting better eh? Have a good one mate, all the best from
New Zealand.

Good to hear from you again Kong, thought you'd decided to stay "off the grid" in the midst of all those modern prop driven subjects! I was surprised to see this one back on the "Recent Unread" menu this morning, one of the more enjoyable subjects Wingnut Wings has provided us over the past nearly ten years.
   The weather here is much better then a month back however we are having a very late and cool Spring, the warm season is already too short and this doesn't help! All the "Very Best" back to you and hopefully we'll get to share that beer some day!
Cheers,
Lance

We were in Canada 2 years ago, but after daughter in Toronto, we ended up in Vancouver, however we are heading back to the UK and a few other
un-chosen places as yet. Sort of a big OE before we settle down to close to home holidays, so . . . . you never know my friend. Take care o yourself
Lance and I really need to come her more often. You know yourself this modelling thing comes in fits and starts. I just had a we rest. Karen found
other interesting things to use my time . . . ;-) Not that ;-) . . . Have a good one Lance

Cheers

Dave

I seemed to have missed tis one somehow Lance. Your work on the damage to the dope and metal areas is fantastic. Beautiful subtle shading on the wings. Finally the rigging is superb. Gorgeous overall Camel!
