     After a battle with a couple of broken struts I've successfully completed this one. This is my second WNW Camel Build and it's a great Kit. Any difficulties encountered were 100% of my own doing! The Build Log for this project is located on the Forum here:

https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=9235.0

     Here's a selection of photos of the completed model ..... (I apologize for the less then optimum photos, the light here has been really poor for several days.....)





























     This is my second Camel completed; I think I'll take a break with a different subject before tackling numbers 3, 4, and 5 hidden in the Stash!

Cheers,
Lance

Your usual outstanding work Lance, even with the setback(s).  Really enjoyed your log.  Looking forward to your next subject.

Juan, Steve, thank you both! I'm going to do a massive clean up and reorganization of my work bench area while I think about what's next in the assembly line! :-\

Spectacular result, Lance! Love the 10 Naval schemes and you've done a masterful job with this one.  Truly brilliant!
Cheers,
Bud

Lovely Lance,

Love the chequered wheel covers!

Thank you both for the positive comments, much appreciated and great for the confidence! The 10 Naval striped schemes are a big favorite of mine and certainly reduce the "drab" effect of that good old PC.10!
Cheers,
Lance

Super Camel. If the other three are nearly as good as this you will have a very fine collection in your display case.

Lovely job Lance,

Have you decided on the colours for your other Camel builds?

You are going to have a great display of WW1 aircraft.

Best wishes,

Dave :)

Thanks for your comments Giuseppe and Dave.
Dave, like these first two the other "Land" Camels will be Canadian subjects as well; I want to do another Clerget version as Barker's B6313 and a Bentley in Roy Brown's colors, B7270 on 21 April 1918 when he was involved in the Red Baron's last combat. Then there's a Ship's Camel and I'd like to do a "Comic"..........So much to do, so little time!
Cheers,
Lance

Beautiful Bird. Very good in every aspect. The preshading of the wings is looking really good.
Bye,
