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

No, it'll be fairly small once done!

Fantastic work overall. I am most impressed by the lack of 'fluff' on those small details. All the details are sharp and clean.

Many thanks to all of you for your generous comments, friends!

Last weeks have been rather busy, so I did not find much time for my little Camel, but currently the painting is basically finished and it is time to assemble her. Looking forward to the X-Mas vacation to get it done.




Cheers

I agree with Rick - your work may be slow but it is always worth the wait.

This build is insane - such detail in such a small scale!!

Many thanks to all of you for your kind and generous comments, they are highly appreciated!

Fit test of the MG's and engine cowling, a few minor adjustments will be necessary, but all in all it looks acceptable. A few more details left and I can start the assembly:






Cheers

Great progress on this little beauty, without the hand for comparison one will never say it's so tiny.
