Looks sweet, Ondra!  Amazingly tiny
There are only two states to be in:  Queensland and blotto.

Many thanks to all of you for your kind comments!

Finally some progress on my little Camel, she started taking shape, so I tested the fit of the engine and the cowling. So far so good.






Cheers

Ondra

Really Ondra you do have ENORMOUS fingers!
I can hardly imagine how I would build that engine, let alone fir it into a scratch built cowling.

Wonderful work Ondra.  I've been following your progress over at KG144.  It's absolutely brilliant.

Just like William Adair's Miles Magister over on the Off Topic Builds, this is just a ridiculous build - ridiculously good in a ridiculously small scale! I don't really get how you can produce this clean kind of work in this scale! Brilliant work!

Many thanks to all of you for your kind comments, it is a major encouragement for the build! ;)

I added the holes to the upper wooden panel, unfortunately I screwed up on the aft one and it turned out too big. But I can live with that. I also painted the cockpit coaming and am now waiting for the oil paint to cure.



The roundels are now in place, the alignment is unfortunately not perfect. I had to use decals instead of wet transfers, therefore the process was more complicated. But I can live with it as well. :)



The wings also got a filter using oil paints, a second layer will follow once the current one has cured.



I managed to lose one of the machine guns, but creating a new one will not be a big deal.





Cheers

Ondra

I am glad that you think that making a new mg will not be a problem, at least for you, because I would not like to have to make one in that scale!

More wonderful magic from your modelling area.

Stephen.
